@@corporealundead3085 I don't make many little changes to my system after I get it set up. It is mainly a vehicle for ansible and Terraform development. And for little stuff I don't want junking up the base system I use toolboxes. I suppose if my work involved making lots of changes to my base system I would be annoyed, but that honestly doesn't come up much.
@@corporealundead3085 what kind of changes do you even need? most things are easily accessible with flatpak, podman and distrobox. And altering home folder rather then system
@@alexisfinaris2051 Whatever changes I feel I want to make at any given time. I compile my software from source, and the idea of using flatpak is appalling to me. I think the real issue is that you are people that have no real interest in how a computer works. Some of us have a real passion for understanding how things work. That requires, that we have the ability to tinker and break things. This is how people truly learn. Experimentation and iteration. We need to change everything so we can learn how it works. You need us. Go live your life in a box and stop worrying about why we need things to be open source and free.
For a young lad you have a great grasp on the major facets of this distro and you are quite articulate! I am an old dude who has been through all the major (and some minor) linux distros going way back to the late 90s. This is the first time I have been excited about a distro in a lot of years. Running SB-39 in a VM and getting my head around it right now. I can see myself transitioning to this as a daily driver!
Stumbled onto your page this morning. Thanks so much for your discussion of silver blue. I’m retired and have time to experiment now, so I am trying it out too. So far I’m enjoying it. Would love to see more videos from you on all things tech😉
Great review! Thinking about using this distro as a daily driver, stability is a cool thing, sandboxing is not a big deal for me anyway. Your review helped me get an in depth view on the system.
this is the only video that made me understand what immutable distro is. Isn't this how macos works? so what are the downsides and why don't I want to install an immutable distro?
I really like Fedora Silverblue and their simple ostree implementation. To compare it with OpenSuse Micro OS, I would say that Fedora is a little more bloated, Firefox as system package and a lot of small things that are actually not needed. I wish the moved git etc to toolbox, OpenSuse does not come with any of that installed by default. I also wished they included proprietary codecs, really don't understand their philosophy behind not installing them.
if you compare Silverblue with OpenSuse Micro OS is not matching, if you compare, than do it with Fedora CoreOS in reation to "bloated", and in general.
I agree with you, but Silverblue because of ostree is more powerfull than Aeon(microOS), on Silverblue you can install with any file system, micro OS only suport btrfs for example.
There are a few nuances, for instance in OpenSuse the Firefox install is a Flatpak so it doesn’t have things like the Gnome shell integration. MicroOS is also a bit less stable and prone to bugs. Also I’m not a fan of YaST.
