A Quick Look At Ublue Aurora (An Immutable KDE Plasma Distro)

• Good to know

• Hey dt. As I understand it, distrotube is meant to install a package from another distribution. It's intended use would require a minimal intallation of the other system, not additional packages that you can use on your main system.

• Hey DT, do you plan to take a look at the new COSMIC DE when that comes out? Its tiling features, speed, workspaces, keybind support, and config-file-based configuration basically make into a DE-meets-a-Tiling-WM.

  Also, now that explicit sync (the largest Nvidia-related issue on Wayland) is fully fixed, do you intend on trying out Wayland?

• rpm-ostree is really dog slow, even snap is faster 😀
  Overall, looks like great distro

• Hey DT, thanks for the great work! About the distrobox arch installation. I had a similar problem on bluefin. Using one of the other arch images from distrobox it works flawlessly!

• Hey DT, just an FYI as I was doing research on this distro after you showed it. The devs of this distro recommend to NOT use rpm-ostree. But another tool called "brew". Either way, perhaps it was impacting the speed at which things were running when you were attempting to install software. Regardless, I'm really interested in this distro now. Thanks for showing it off!

• The Aurora-dx version has more stuff preconfigured and preinstalled such as virt manager etc

• Sorry, not sorry. Not watching 18 mins. of content to get the actual point of this video. Make it short and sweet or lose views.

• why are there bots doing palestine propaganda using hot girls profile pics? lmao

• I dont know who uses this kinda ublue immutable 😂 Instead of using this kinda flatpaks for firefox vlc etc i would rather dont use computer

• can you use snaps on an immutable fedora distro? I'm not a fan of them but I need snap to install a few sdks I use regularly

• Hi DT. I have tested Arch distrobox on Debian for Gaming (tested Lutris and Steam). It's amazing 😍 Useful? I don't know but it's just insane. I needed to upgrade gamescope on Debian and rebuild the upstream package is a pain because it need to many deps that are outdated on Debian. pacman -S gamescope, and distrobox-export –app gamescope et BOOM ! It's done !!!!

• The intended way of installing software is either via brew, flat pack or in distrobox. os rpm tree is used to create a layer over the base os, you definitely don't want to keep stacking those layers.
  Ptyxis is used as it integrates with distroboxes very well. Kinda like Windows Terminal with WSL.

• Arch discrimination!

• I don't get who the audience for these types of distros is supposed to be. If you just install regular Fedora and leave the "system" packages alone, install "apps" as flatpaks and maybe use distrobox/brew/nixpkgs for esoteric stuff, then you're going to have the same experience just without the extra bloat. It's not like updates/upgrades regularly break Fedora and even if you get hit by a bug you can still dnf rollback and versionlock.

  Some kind of large scale deployment where you want the users to be able to freely install software without being able to break things perhaps, but those types of environments usually want way more control than that.

• Might check it out, though I always have issues with anything that is Fedora based. I don't know why?

• Man Plasma 6 is getting there. Cant wait for new XFCE update.
  Good show DT!

• 🖥 😁 👍 ⚡ 👌🖥

• Hey Dt!

• 14:06 hmmm immutable distro but not atomic based on the looks of the partitions.

• Good review DT, thanks.

• I use paru on bazzite, and have a full c++ dev ubuntu box. use brew for shell programs sometimes.

• 4:20 They asked to not use rpm-ostree, but rather brew

• Distrobox has been bugged out (particularly on creating new Arch boxes) for me for the past week as well. Not sure what's going on with that.

• おはようございます

• thanks for taking a look at this distro 🙂 Might want to remove the bot comments though…

• OpenSuse's upcoming new distro Aeon (current in RC) does immutable much better than Fedora. Its more like an immutable version of a rolling release and gets automatically updated every nite under the covers.

• Great too see you try this not a distribution
