What's the difference between Bluefin and Silverblue?
I was interested in the Ublue images but it sounded like Silverblue is kind of the "default vanilla favor" and the Ublue images stack more stuff on top or modify it for special use cases. So I'm now on Silverblue, and it's pretty fucking awesome as a "forget it's even there" general purpose laptop OS so far.
That's my understanding also, ublue are adding some different default software/settings and maintaining versions specifically with Nvidia and/or ZFS support.
It’s basically Silverblue but with all the nice to haves already built in. They try to make it extremely user friendly for install and then just using it without tweaks or having to add anything yourself
I made the right choice then. The only thing I changed on Silverblue was hiding the pre-installed Firefox and replacing it with the Flathub version that includes non-free codecs.
And I was surprised to see it's missing gparted and gnome-tweaks, but I work around that with gnome-disk-utility and dconf-editor.
More power to you! To each their own, I prefer most of the tweaks that Bluefin did and they make it pretty easy to turn off some of the more controversial ones.
