Today, I made switch to fedora silverblue and then rebased to ublue image because it has flatpak included in the image. I am also thinking about making my own image based on silverblue. there is a video made by bigpod a youtuber about how to make your own custom ublue image and I learned a lot from that video. I am using toolbox to install various software and I am linking it however I am thinking if toolbox consumes more RAM and CPU. I guess I will find out ones I install silverblue on my laptop with old HDD.

I downloaded my favourite browser from flathub. the flathub repo isn’t enabled by default in kinoite image of ublue. I have also find a way to export toolbox container to move it to different machine.

So yeah, I am liking it so far :D

    then rebased to ublue image because it has flatpak included in the image.

    From Silverblue’s Getting Started Guide:

    Flatpak is the primary way that apps can be installed on Fedora Silverblue (for more information, see flatpak.org). Flatpak works out of the box in Fedora Silverblue…

    Just seems very odd to distrohop for one main reason (flatpak in this scenario), without even checking if that reason is available in your current distro…which it is, out of the box.

      Tbf I think it’s very easy to rebase a Fedora Silverblue install to ublue or vice versa

        Yeah, I’m not saying it’s hard, just illogical. To me, it came across similar as: “I’m moving to this other distro because they have Firefox.” Your current distro also has Firefox, so why are you moving again?

          For sure. I just meant that it’s just putting in a command and waiting for a bit, so I could understand doing it on a whim more than if it was a full reinstall. Doesn’t make any sense but it’s also not a big deal.
