That would be so fun I am buzzing with excitement. I am not talking facetiously either. I am out in the cold as I type this, happy and quivering.

I cannot wait to get home and try it out!

Oh nice! I will do that. I see this as save scumming for real life!

Speaking of, save scumming is a habit I need to rid myself of. I need to allow myself to fail in Baldur's Gate and other games.

Honestly, I just followed the steps here: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#OSTree_.28Silverblue.2FKinoite.2Fetc.29

I was diligent about following the configuration guide first: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

I think the key is restarting at every step it asks you to, and maybe after anything that seems major or is a prerequisite for another set of program installs. I mean, I got a black screen the first time, but after a hard reset, it just worked.

No doubt UBlue is probably a lot easier. I did not realize I could have just downloaded the ISO instead of trying to rebase, but I like what I am running.

Anyways, doing it the hard way is helping me learn the intricacies of an immutable system, so I am having fun.

Oh, I totally misunderstood the OS. I was under the impression that using os-tree should be totally avoided for anything other than necessary system programs, and all other software should be installed with flatpaks or containers.

I now understand that using os-tree for some programs is inevitable, and I should embrace it, though still catiously to maintain as clean of an OS as possible for maximum longevity.

I saw that the image was failing to build, so I took a chance and followed the RPMFUSION guide and installed it successfully. I am learning to use toolbox for CLI stuff, but now I am going to learn about Distrobox!!

Nice! Looks like I have a fun night ahead of me!

Thank you for showing me uBlue! I want to avoid os-tree if I can, since that seems to defeat the purpose.

I am thinking of switching from Linux Mint to Fedora. I have always liked Fedora, but have been bitten by some BS like NVIDIA drivers not working and some programs only available as a .deb file (I know about alien... or do I?)

I love GNOME DE, has that modern "I work on a spaceship" feel.

I mostly do music production and some gaming, so pipewire seems intriguing.

Here is the real question: Should I got Silverblue? I just learned about distrobox, so maybe that is my solution for programs I cannot get through flatpak?

Hah. What the hell would upscaling a sedan even get me. My car car play CDs!!

... I think I am good.

I feel you misread. I mean what I spelled, county, the collection of cities that define the specific region I live in.

My library card gives me access to many libraries in that county, which yes, has works from people across the globe.

I know. It is not great. I ended up using FFMPEG to upscale to 4k using lanzcos filter.

Not the crispest, but vastly more watchable.

I will try AI upscaling when I can.

I have been rekindling my patronage to my county's libraries and archive.org.

Sure, these are DVDs, but they can be upscaled and are easily backed up.

I buy a crap load of books like I have a spending problem, but I get them used from bookstores and thriftstores. Libraries will always have something I can't find, with the added glory of browsing serendipity.

Sure, I like to pirate, but there is more treasure at your ports than you think.

I am finally getting around to doing this! I will admit, I had Windows on all of my machines... I first rehabilitated my laptop, and I finally brought back my main desktop from hell.

Running the script. Let's see what my computer becomes!
