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.

Oh awesome! I looked into rolling my own image to combine Aurora-DX with Bazzite about a month or so ago, but I've been really busy since and hadn't made much of a start. This is really exciting to see, will rebase over on my desktop as soon as NVIDIA gets support.

The future is looking bright for bazzite

I just installed it today! It's so easy to set up and use, games have been working right out of the box and I like the security of rollback updates. I'm brand new to Linux and i think it has the potential to convert people over

It started as an experiment to get off the Windows 11 train wreck for me and now I can't imagine ever going back. Linux is so far ahead, it's not even a competition.

Amazing stuff Bluefin-DX really changed the way I setup and maintain my progjects in a good way.

What do you do differently? I've been on Bluefin for 2 years but still never bothered with dev containers or anything

Generally take a more containerised approach to my development, before I just had one big folder for projects and various others. It made me figure out how to be more organised especially with dependancies and folder layout.
