Quoting: FoxStevenWhat I only want is using Adobe Product on linux......

Some of it is already usable, but it's a hack and isn't reliable. We'd likely see Adobe moving to web-based solution to make a single SKU for all their products available in all platforms.

I'm on daily updates, so I don't really have to worry about this. If it hasn't been solved, there's nothing I can do, and if it has then I should automatically get it.

Though, I'd assume Flatpak runtimes will need to update as well? Although the risk should be lower there with all the mitigation they have.

I'll use whatever Proton, Bottles, Heroic, and Lutris defaults to. I've followed the Wine Wayland effort here and there. It flies above my head and I don't even know what is and isn't working in the latest Staging and Stable version (and add what version of Wine that Proton and Proton-GE uses to that equation).

So, I'll wait, and use the default, whatever that default is. I'm already on Wayland anyways, and uBlue/Bazzite teams are good about communicating to their users as well as providing workarounds, so they should help mitigate or make more accessible regardless of what the launchers choose to ship.

Quoting: TheRiddickProbably why its been removed. Given current global events.

No, it's probably music. IIRC it uses a few band songs, like Mogwai's Glasgow Mega-Snake, which was quite memorable for me.

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeThanks for the recommendation, going to try it out

You can do it with an rpm-ostree rebase [External Link] from a normal Fedora immutable install, if you want, but you can also make your own repo [External Link] to get a personalized image which is pretty easy to do! I outright just layer in my own skel files so that everything I want is there, right from install, including how I setup my KDE panel and everything [External Link].

Quoting: GuestThe steamos solution to that is to use flatpaks, which is pretty much only for _released_ graphical software (and few cli tools, but no libraries). So steamos and immutable distros in general are for consuming, not producing. Which sucks because some people see the steam deck as a possible laptop/desktop replacement, but this immutable part forces you to throw the whole distro into the trash and install another distro instead.

Not really? I've been layering my stuff to the Bazzite image just fine (both directly to the image [External Link], and on top of the image with `rpm-ostree install`), and for everything else, I just use Nix Home-Manager [External Link], Distrobox [External Link], or Conty [External Link] which allows me to still use whatever I want, however I want.

The only thing that's annoying to do is when you need something like kernel mods and dealing with stuff like DaVinci Resolve and VMware or GPU-Passthrough. It's doable, but I just don't want to read all that stuff, man.

Personally, I've been really loving it. Makes updating much easier - I don't even have to monitor it, I just let it run in the background. Sure, sometimes issues occurs, but I can just ignore it since if it didn't build it won't get shipped to me, until I have the time to look at it. I actually got an email about a build failing 3 days ago [External Link], ignored it, then finally read the log today, then fixed it. The log makes it clear and means I don't have to immediately attend to it since it was never shipped to me!

Quoting: SoulThiefDo you have any sources on that? This is the first I've heard of it and don't want to support the project if that is the case.

The HoloISO devs are Russian. They mostly give updates on Telegram. See https://t.me/HoloISO/467 [External Link]. Additionally, see https://t.me/HoloISO/415 [External Link] - and, look, I'm a proud BA enjoyer, but even I don't want that kind of memes in update & announcement communication channel.

At that point just use Universal Blue's Bazzite. The devs has much clearer track records and works together with various other project. Plus, you can easily clone a repo where you can layer in your own packages and user files to pack into a custom image of your own.

Quoting: Deleted_UserYou can see the irony here, do you?

That's what's the emoji's for :smile:

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWell, I suppose if you want to both own a Steam Deck and be a tinkerer, they become issues. One use-case's feature is another use-case's bug.

Which is exactly why the Linux landscape is the way it is, and it's better that way. People should fork or spin software to allow for alternative use and viewpoints, even if there is also a need for centralized way of shipping authoritative official end-user software. And this is why Nix + Flatpak are indeed the superior way of shipping packages :smile:
