This is what #FarCry3 and #Bluefin looks like when the game is running. THIS IS NOT A BLUEFIN ISSUE, BY THE WAY. I had the exact same issue on standard #Fedora Workstation :|

No, I'm suspecting it's a Far Cry 3 meets a #IntelARCB580 running Linux issue.

Regardless, that's a certified Linux Gaming Moment that I'm having right here. And no, my GPU is not dying. I freaked out too the first time I tried the game and got this, but no, I play other games on it just fine. This is specifically a Far Cry 3 thing. :/

I don't regret going with the Intel ARC. AMD and NVIDIA can go to hell as far as I'm concerned, with their ridiculous pricings. But damn, I'd be lying if I didn't say that it's been a rough experience on Linux for me. Especially because, ARC users, well, there are dozens of us, yay. And ARC Linux users?! ...woof. ._.

@yuliyan @ahoneybun You should add this requirement to your post : )

Btw, I have #Bluefin running on one system - will check idle memory usage and get back to you.

@frameworkcomputer @fedora @ubuntu @jorge are you comfortable with #bluefin sharing a tent with actual #fascists and #nazis given that they invoked support of your project as part of that tent?

Honestly, the wallpapers alone are a great reason to use #bluefin. 🦖

Ça fait 2 semaines que je teste en condition réelle la distrib #Bluefin (distro immuable basée sur Fedora+GNOME). C'est pas mal, mais vraiment pensé pour les développeurs web et les joueurs sur Steam.

Voici la route récente
- #Ubuntu. Problèmes avec les snaps.
- #Fedora. Je voulais essayer l'immuable.
- #Bluefin. Conceptuellement solide, mais les dinosaures sont un peu too much. Bravo pour intégrer brew, mais toutes ces apps de gestion d'applications... est-ce vraiment nécessaire?
- #VanillaOS. Superbe design, mais le vocabulaire est difficile à prendre en main, ABroot, VSO, APX…

on my #bluefin laptop, to initialise a large schema sql file 400+ tables) onto a mysql docker container, it takes 16s

on my #bazzite gaming desktop, it takes 150s to do the same

both using btrfs, both have SELinux enabled

i turned off CoW on the mount directory on bazzite because it’s enabled by default but it doesn’t change the time taken

I don't think this is going to do anything but I really want to urge @jorge and the whole #bluefin team to reconsider their decision of quitting Discourse for GitHub Discussions. I believe that this is a huge mistake and makes the project even more inaccessible to people who are not developers.

I've had to use Github for years as a non developer and I still can't find my way around it. There are few things I dread more than having to find something on a GitHub project's page. It's not meant for most users, for me, it's an awful experience to use EVERY TIME, to the point where, and I kid you not, find it genuinely emotionally distressing which I know is purely an autistic bunny me thing, but still. It's not good.

One of the big aspect I love about Universal Blue projects, including Bluefin, is that discourse forum! It's been such a valuable resource for me. Making this switch makes it so that, for users like me, there might as well not be a forum at all. I understand that a lot of the Bluefin people are developpers, but they also keep advertising it as a project for everyone, with the ease to use of a Chromebook... and Github is everything but easy. :/

I may rebase to #Bazzite on my Framework honestly for this alone. Because I'm serious, the forum is that big of a ressource for me and GitHub is just that much of an inaccessible nightmare to me. And the justification given on the thread about AI tools are... I don't know, I really don't think that this is the more user friendly approach the teams seems to think it is. :neofox_sob:

#universalblue #projectbluefin

@didier I still love Silverblue but I did switch to #bluefin as their developer spin had a lot of tools baked in. You can rebase directly from Silverblue if you want to try it without having to reinstall.

Mainly it builds in container support, coding tools, & defaults that make more sense for dev work and/or network engineering.

All of these Universal Blue variants (#bazzite is another one, I use it on my Ally X) are fantastic & interchangeable for whatever purpose you have.

Glad you love it!

@MediocreWightMan @mr_daemon Another +1 for #Bluefin, I’m running the GTS variant and am very happy. I’ve tried lots of other distros, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, AlmaLinux and many others. Bluefin has been really good so far and has made setting up so much easier.

I use my systems in a very container centric way so this really matches my workflow!

YMMV.

@mr_daemon I recently switched my laptop to #Bluefin LTS after evaluating it for use on relatives machines that are too old for Windows 11. I liked it so much i switched my own laptop from NixOS.

I'll be flapping my gums about #bluefin and how I use it as my daily driver for #development and #devops on October 30th at nwa.codes. Really stoked to see the local dev user groups merging!

Note that my talk will have nothing to do with AI. The organizer is in the space.

@KFears There are too many fascist takeovers these days to keep informed of them all and i'm not involved in the Nix community so haven't looked too closely at the situation, but i did recently switch my laptop from NixOS to #Bluefin LTS.

It has everything i need (though i'll miss root on ZFS).

For my home server almost everything was already running in OCI containers on NixOS so switching should be simple. Considering Talos to learn Kubernetes, or maybe Podman Quadlets on uCore or Cayo.

Installed #bazzite (actually rebased from #bluefin )
Yeah, awesome.

Having been using #bluefin-cli image via #distrobox on a (normal) #fedora WSL for a while. So far so smooth.
Today the first time running a real ansible playbook. I installed ansible (an old version) via pipx under #wolfie 's apk.
#pipx is also sharing the same ideology with ublue, distrobox, etc.

Fedora got the #COSMIC beta within hours, and a quick rebuild of my #bluefin based image this morning means I have it too! Running like a champ!

@mplouffe I've been trying out #Bluefin LTS for the last week, investigating whether it'd be a good choice for relatives with machines that won't take Windows 11.

So far i've found it very impressive and i've decided it'll be my recommendation for people wanting to switch.

I liked it so much that, just this morning, i switched my own laptop over to it from NixOS.

My conclusion after installing #GhostBSD, #KDELinux, #Aurora, and reverting to #BlueFin Linux on my Framework 13 laptop in quick succession:

KDE has a better aesthetic than Gnome, but man do the latest releases work poorly with an external display/hub with every platform I tried it on.

Within 90 seconds of plugging in my Samsung monitor via USB-C with built-in hub (+mouse, kb), kwin stopped processing mouse clicks, even if I could move the cursor around. Kind of nuts.

Hmmm #BlueFin from @UniversalBlue distribution based on @fedora's immutable #Silverblue) has decided to have LTS distributions. An interesting approach, and in stark contrast to how Fedora typically works.
Built on @centos Stream 10 (So no x86-64-v2 to let it run on my T420/X220 sadly :'( ) and kernel 6.12.0 or the "HWE" (hardware enablement) version that gives you newer ones, plus first class support for #homebrew packages and the awesome #ZFS file system.
