From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi ! I'm a little confuse between all immutable versions based on fedora. Is this correct : universal blue = tool to create image, based on fedora atomic desktop ?

With universal blue, they created :

Bluefin = gnome
Bluefin-DX = gnome + developper tools
Aurora = kde
Aurora-DX = kde + developper tools
Bazzite = games

What the difference between silverble and bluefin for example, and which are you using ?

There was a post about that exact issue not that long ago, basically, you have to do some networking trickery to get some printers to work.

I agree that there's a big learning curve, though it's a nice option if everything you need can be found as a flatpak or appimage.
