@CryogenicNighthawk How Common is This Setup (Terraform + Ansible)?
For techs and consultants who focus on infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering, this combination is extremely common and considered a best-practice pattern. It's the classic "Provisioning vs. Configuration" split.
I didn't realize this #yml #immutable
in recent days, in my Lappy's Kinoite [but not also in my Tower's Kinoite], two of my important apps, installed as #flatpaks (coz... #immutable #atomic system), have gone bonkers & are unusable... #KeePassXC & #QDirStat. They used to work fine, but now their GUIs don't correctly paint on the screen, have severe flickering of individual elements, & either don't respond to clicks, or respond incorrectly. I dunno, but suspect it might be related to my Lappy being old, with thus old nvidia graphics [cf; Tower does not use nvidia]. Coz i only use Lappy occasionally [as opposed to Tower = daily], i dunno exactly when they went to hell. none of my attempts to troubleshoot, including allowing more & more app Flatpak Permissions for them, helped. so, this morn, exasperated, i decided to stop fighting them, & instead bypass them. i fired up my ArchLinux #Distrobox, then installed both apps in it, confirmed both work correctly, did the distrobox-export dance, uninstalled both those flatpaks, &... huzzah. I love #FOSS π

The world needs a #luks2 enrypted, #immutable #atomic #linux whith #selinux, #flatpaks and the #COSMICdesktop to attack Microsoft. Right now, would be perfect :owi: #aerynos #fedora #opensuse
UPDATE: Unfortunately i'd based my post on obsolete info. I discovered hours afterwards that the later versions of #RustDesk (albeit i've only tested the #AppImage variant), DO connect satisfactorily TO a #Wayland desktop, FROM an #immutable #atomic Wayland desktop (now being #Fedora #Kinoite). This improvement, in my latest testing, pertained both to ordinary remote desktop control, but also file transfer. So... yay!
The fact that #SteamOS is going #immutable means that #Flatpak and #Flathub will absolutely trounce #snap packages.
At the same time, if you seperate your home folder into a volume or partition, said packages are PORTABLE - that is you can distrohop and not lose your apps.
This is great for the user, great for the consumer, and the more flatpaks and flathub matures, the more reasons developers have to port apps.
Right now I'm using #CachyOS, so I've not used flatpaks as much - but still.
#Aeon is a bold step into the #immutable #desktop future; it's built for modern workflows and containerized apps. With #Flatpak as its app backbone, Aeon keeps your system lean and your #apps fresh. Watch this #oSC25 talk. #openSUSE #LinuxDesktop https://youtu.be/hh4gnNCG7dM?si=W2R0O5rKdEzh54uv
Lilbits: Updates on Pebble, Rebble, and Aluminium (Android + ChromeOS for PCs)
Googleβs upcoming PC operating system that merges elements of Android and ChromeOS has a new nameβ¦ or at least a code name. And there are updates on both sides of the dispute between Core Devices (the company brining Pebble watches back from the dead) and Rebble (the developers who made sure that old Pebble watches were only mostly dead).
Last week the Rebble team made accusations that [β¦]

Ah, the noble quest to make #TypeScript immutable-by-default with nothing but pure #TypeScript #magic. π€β¨ A valiant effort, Evan, but much like #Sisyphus, you ended up rolling that boulder up a hill all night for a half-baked, immutable-ish TypeScript. π«πͺ£ Keep dreaming of #Rust, friend.

Whoua #distrobox c vrmt le bazard lol
J'voulais un terminal absent des flatpak de #bazzite et je l'ai pris depuis une distro mais..... C les commandes de la distro en question, pas de ma bazzite, qui ressort π
Entre #ujust #rpmostree #flatpak #appimage et #distrobox , trop c trop π€·ββοΈ
Faudrait VRAIMENT que #homebrew et #flatpak SOIENT 1000% fonctionnel fiable et avec une dispo d'app plus grandes que les distribution habituelles sinon c infernal pour toutes les distribs #immutable genre #universalblue et #silverblue, et les distribs de niche, sinon, pas d'app, pas d'utilisateur, pas d'existence sociale π€·ββοΈ
Nitrux 5.0.0 marks a major shift in design & philosophy. π»
Now Wayland-only with Hyprland, immutable root (NX Overlayroot), and custom app delivery via NX AppHub + AppBoxes. π
Systemd, KDE Plasma & VM support are gone β a deliberate move favoring control. βοΈ
A bold stance on user freedom & system integrity, though not for all setups. π§

The systemd-free Nitrux 5.0 debuts with Hyprland as the default desktop, APT-style NX AppHub, immutable root, and performance-tuned kernels.

@Kroc I don't use #Apple products / #iOS.
I do however use #flatpak format apps, have used #immutable OS's as well as #QubesOS at times.
There's reasons why they exist and people use them.
I think it's a bit alarmist to think someday you won't be able to run #linux apps without containers or VMs because flatpaks exist but i'm guessing this probably isn't going to be agreed upon.
@Kroc I personally don't have any issues with #flatpak as a format. There's even a few things i use that are #appimage.
I'm not a big fan of Canonical's #snap format admittedly.
But flatpaks are widely used in #immutable #linux distros without issue to folks.
This is the first i've seen of anyone hating on them in quite awhile here.
