#Kinoite
If Silverblue is atomic Fedora, is uBlue Silverblue just ionic Fedora?
Is there a reason why Kinoite and Silverblue don't come with live environments? For a new to Linux user those are helpful.
We've now merged all KDE 6 packages to Rawhide so we don't need a special image to try it and you can directly use Fedora Kinoite Rawhide. Instructions to move to this image in the same place: https://tim.siosm.fr/blog/2023/11/22/kinoite-plasma-6/

PS: Beta update coming soon!
Instalando Fedora Kinoite en el portatil por la versatilidad que ofrece KDE.
No solo por KDE connect, sino por ofrecer de forma nativa la posibilidad de crear carpetas cifradas.
En resumidas cuentas, KDE me parece mejor compañera de viaje que GNOME en cuanto a dispositivos móviles se refiere (portátil)
Fedora Kinoite Nightly mit Plasma 6
https://opensocial.at/display/59c238fc-1265-604f-b6e9-8f5857043611
Just rebased my #silverblue to #kinoite.
(1) Everything's intact. #ostree is doing its job.
(2) KDE is much snappier than GNOME, but GNOME certainly feels more solid and integrated.
(3) I'm being forced to use fingerprint login instead of password.
All in all, a great experience.
Rebasing Fedora Kinoite (SilverBlue but with KDE) to Universal Blue Bazzite was NOT a complete success as I originally thought.
My VPN (IVPN) user interface is clearly broken. -it looks pixelated (see screenhot).
I thought to uninstall and reinstall the app, but that fail with this notice:
error: No installed package matches 'libavcodec-free'
The system is looking for that package, and it doesn't seem to be in any of the repos.
The rebase from Fedora Kinoite (SilverBlue but with KDE) to Universal Blue Bazzite seems to be a success.
It's installing a few goodies from its little setup and once that is complete, I'll reboot, and then rebase toward Bazzite "latest"

Fedora Kinoite Nightly mit Plasma 6
https://linuxnews.de/fedora-kinoite-nightly-mit-plasma-6/ #fedora #kinoite #Plasma6 #immutable
Fedora Kinoite images with Plasma 6 are now available!
Compared to previous Kinoite Nightly builds, they are based on Rawhide so they may include bugs as they notably contain pre-released kernels.

Fedora 39 has been released! 🎉
I gave a talk with @me at the Fedora 39 release party about what's new and what's next for Fedora Atomic Desktops (Silverblue, Kinoite, Sericea and Onyx) and wrote the summary in this blog post: https://tim.siosm.fr/blog/2023/11/22/fedora-atomic-desktops-39/
#Fedora #Fedora39 #Silverblue #Kinoite #Sericea #Onyx #AtomicDesktops
rebased my test box to #Kinoite #nightly. Damn if the plasma 6 alpha doesn't have some awesome refinement.
Love the new layouts in settings and discover. Was expecting to hate the default floating panel - but its actually been made much better than it was in plasma5.
Looking forward to running the beta on my main machine when it's tagged
@ikkeT noticed this as well with my setup. Haven't tried to fix yet the other way yet. On F38 I installed couple of packages an then it was working. But F39 seemed to delete those on my setup. Let's hope it gets integrated in to main os. #Kinoite
If I remember correctly I did have one more package installed for that but don't remember specifically was it for KDE or what that package name was 😅
As this came up yesterday: How would one reinstall a RPM package on immutable #fedora (#kinoite #silverblue #onyx) with #rpm-ostree?
Or is there another nice way to restore a configuration file that the user messed with, that originally came from the package? On non-immutable systems removing the file and reinstalling the package would work.
wow it is spooky how well that upgrade went. im already done. there's nothing else for me to do
Thank you to @kde for having a graphical way of upgrading! It was a pleasant surprise when I saw I didn't have to continue this process in the terminal!
Yoooo I didn't know that the graphical way of upgrading finally released for KDE!
@cassidy I mean, yeah, Using #Kinoite or #Kalpa and installing Steam is going to get you a pretty similar experience, if you don't have an actual Steam Deck.
I've not messed with #Bazzite, but seems lots of folks like it.
My wife has a Steam Deck, and honestly, once you plug a keyboard and mouse into it, It's pretty much like using any other KDE desktop.
Do you like our Fedora atomic/immutable spins?
1. Here's a guide on how to rebase from Fedora 38 to 39
https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-rebase-to-fedora-linux-39-on-silverblue/
2. Fedora 39 atomic spins use rpm-ostree unified core mode which is safer than the old mode we were using

20 years of Fedora Linux.
Thanks for giving us Fedora Kinoite (SilverBlue but with KDE) and Fedora Onyx (SilverBlue but with Budgie).
I just rebased to #Fedora #Kinoite from #Silverblue . I have a fully functioning desktop and all my layered packages are still there. All my flatpaks are there. Everything is now #KDE and not #GNOME anymore.
What's the catch?
I will never stop praising #openSUSE for this magnificent #Tumbleweed. The default installed #btrfs file system writes through the #snapper application snapshots. These can be automatic or user-created. I also add a description on the most important ones.
The sensational thing is that I can access them from the grub at boot time. This way I can recover even a broken system by going back very easily
#fedora #silverblue #kinoite #kde #plasma #rhel #ubuntu #debian #kubuntu #manjaro #mint #popos
@frameworkcomputer FYI the beta firmware has fixed running SDDM under wayland (for #Fedora #KDE and #Kinoite users)
My cheatsheet for fedora immutable (gathered on my experiences of what can be usefull in dailydriving):
https://github.com/Szwendacz99/fedora-immutable-cheatsheet
I am no expert in these tho.
The SOLUTION to this problem with my Brother MFC-L2740DW printer was to not use the printer setup that Fedora automatically picked when first installed.
Rather, you want to go into settings and select the generic printer driver that the system recommended.
Fedora SilverBlue's (Kinoite) default printer for my Brother MFC-L2740DW doesn't seem to be going so well.
If I had not walked over and physically pressed the canceled button, I would have gone through the whole stack of paper. Ironically I was only trying to print a 1 single page.
I just learned about Fedora Onyx.
It's Fedora SilverBlue, but with Budgie desktop.
It also has a name I can remember. -- I never could remember Kinoite
Fedora SilverBlue and Fedora Kinoite users would be interested to know that IVPN has both repositories and a client for you specifically, for both, CLI and GUI Clients —Full support.
When your distro's maintainer gives advice on getting support and you tell him to get stuffed for "promoting"
I have a bad feeling about this ...
Normally, you mention Fedora or Red Hat or Silver Blue or Universal Blue or anything generally related to that ecosystem will trigger a wave of folks telling you how best to use it.
Saying you need a VPN Client that works with Fedora Kinoite (SilverBlue, but with KDE) and streaming services, such as Netflix, for example, has mostly been met with silence.
I cannot imagine that is a good sign.
The Linux distribution that I am almost sold on is a distribution I was dared to try and I came in with some bias. I have previously spoken out against the company and their policies. I never imagined I would find myself liking something under their ecosystem.
The distribution in question is, IBM's Fedora Kinoite. 🤯
I am more surprised than anyone. But it really does work and it works well. 😅
The only problem is I cannot find a paid VPN Client that works 😭
@frameworkcomputer if you're running #Fedora #KDE or #Kinoite on an #AMD #framework, you may get a core dump on #sddm resulting in a back screen on boot. Logging in via TTY works.
This stems from Fedora running sddm under wayland (the only distro doing it by default). For now switching back to X11 for sddm solves it
Or tryout #Kinoite and rebase to #UniversalBlue
https://fedoraproject.org/kinoite/
https://universal-blue.org/images/nvidia/
https://universal-blue.org/images/
Anything with -Nvidia you should be good to go.
Large selection of DEs, even gnome.
I've been gaming on Kinoite-main since the 38 was in beta on my AMD card.
Currently enjoying #Bazzite

You could let Gamescope take your pain away 🙃

Alright, I think I was wrong. It appears that it is not possible to have #fedora #kinoite and Windows 11 available on the same system. Installing one will break the other, even when installed on separate drives, on a UEFI system. Anaconda also appears to be unable to add Windows to GRUB. I rarely use Windows now. Maybe once every three months. Yet still, I occasionally use it. This makes Kinoite a non-starter, as much as I like it. Maybe some day I'll be able to join the immutable wave. #Linux
Are you making a video or a podcast about Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite, Sericea, Onyx, IoT or CoreOS ? Feel free to reach out on the Fedora discussion forum! We can help you figure out issues or answer questions you may have with those "new" variants.
If you prefer, you can also reach out directly to me. You might also want to reach out to @jorge (Universal Blue) or @sfalken (openSUSE MicroOS, Aeon, Kalpa).
I've posted the transcript of my talk at Akademy 2023: https://tim.siosm.fr/blog/2023/08/11/testing-latest-kde-kinoite/
This is the result of a multi-year effort by a lot of folks in the KDE and Fedora communities to make testing KDE software easier for our users.
Demo videos included!
While this post takes KDE software and Fedora Kinoite as example, most of the concepts also apply to other Flatpak’ed applications and other rpm-ostree desktops (Silverblue, etc.).
Anyone interested in checking out the cloud based image OSs of #Silverblue #Kinoite & #Sericea:
Also consider checking out Universal Blue #uBlue
Can even simply rebase:
https://universal-blue.org/images/
A reminder it's not a Distribution. More like a reimplantation/tweaking of Fedora with extra batteries.
Can even make your own image and share with friends/family!!
https://universal-blue.org/tinker/make-your-own/
Easy way to use #nvidia on #fedora
Checkout #distrobox as well!
@pixelspree @poisonwomb @hughc @vfrunza @thelinuxEXP I switched to KDE when Gnome 3 first came out, but I came back around to it. I run both Gnome and KDE now and appreciate them both for what they bring to the table. I especially love the KDE experience from #Fedora #Kinoite.
I've written a post about how to setup libvirt on rpm-ostree systems (Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite, Sericea, Onyx, CoreOS) to get a more reasonable set of overlayed packages: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/overlaying-libvirt-on-silverblue-kinoite-sericea-onyx-and-coreos/86312
Feedback and help to improve the situation welcomed!
@Meowie_Gamer Let's make it interesting. How about you try out #Fedora #Kinoite - the immutable Linux desktop running #KDE!
I'll be giving a talk at #Akademy2023 on Sunday afternoon on how we are making KDE Plasma and Apps testing accessible to non-developers, thanks to Flatpak and Kinoite: https://conf.kde.org/event/5/contributions/138/
I'm also attending the conference remotely so feel free to reach out to me on Matrix if you want to chat with me about #KDE, #Fedora, #Kinoite or #Flatpak.
Interested in making a new rpm-ostree desktop variant available in Fedora to join Silverblue, Kinoite, Sericea and Onyx?
Then you may take a look at this guide: https://tim.siosm.fr/blog/2023/06/21/rpm-ostree-variants-fedora/
#Fedora #ostree #RpmOstree #FedoraSilverblue #Silverblue #FedoraKinoite #Kinoite #FedoraSericea #Sericea
We have a new website for Kinoite! :fedora: :Kinoite: 🎉 https://fedoraproject.org/kinoite/
Please report any issues at https://gitlab.com/fedora/websites-apps/fedora-websites/fedora-websites-3.0 and tag me: @siosm on GitLab.com
When you're using one of Fedora's immutable spins like Silverblue, Kinoite, or Sericea, you aren't limited to just that desktop environment.
With ostree, you can easily rebase to another image, try it out, and switch back or to another image whenever you want!
#Fedora #Silverblue #Kinoite #Sericea
➡️ https://fedoramagazine.org/trying-different-desktop-environments-using-rpm-ostree/
@curtismchale this is my work #System76 machine so Pop!_OS is the default on it. I've been wanting to rebuild it with #Fedora #SilverBlue or #Kinoite
How do you pronounce Kinoite?
#Fedora #Kinoite #FedoraPoll
If you use :fedora: #Fedora 38, #Silverblue, #Kinoite, #Vauxite, or other systems where #davinciresolve doesn't work or isn't easily installed... I've got a solution!
https://gist.github.com/bluesabre/8814afece711b0ca49de34c41e50b296
Using a Fedora 37 toolbox, copying launchers and icons, and updating everything to be container-friendly, you can get DaVinci Resolve up and running!
I haven't tested any editing, but successfully launching the app gives me hope.
Some docs on how to upgrade an existing installation to Fedora 38:
#Fedora #Silverblue #Kinoite #Linux
Workstation: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading/#sect-upgrading-to-the-next-fedora-workstation-release
Immutable (Silverblue, Kinoite, Sericea, CoreOS): https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-rebase-to-fedora-linux-38-on-silverblue/
All other variants: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/
I continue:
- to occasionally muck about with my #Fedora #Kinoite & #oS #MicroOS VMs.
- my scepticism that immutables have any credible use FOR ME.
- to find more Cons than Pros. Here's another i just rediscovered today.
In ALL my "std" #KDEPlasma systems [multiple distros, both my PCs, multiple VMs] one of my most-used apps is #Yakuake, [dropdown terminal]. I want this also in my immutables.
K & M don't have it ootb. It's not in [real] #Flathub. HOW do i install it, yet stay "immutable"?
What do you think about immutable distros like #VanillaOS or Fedora Silverblue? Please comment your oponion!
