Universal Blue

~ Custom images of Fedora Atomic Desktops ~

Based RPM-OSTree, this is a collection of container images using Fedora's support for OCI/Docker containers as a transport and delivery mechanism for operating system content.

That's nerdspeak for the ultimate Linux client: the reliability of a Chromebook, but with the flexibility and power of a traditional Linux desktop. At long last, we've ascended.

Fedora 41 builds of Bluefin and Aurora are available now!
https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/bluefin-and-aurora-f41-builds-now-available/4624
Keep in mind that this is not the official release for Fedora nor for us. This is basically so you can try the beta and will require rebasing. Once Fedora does the stable release then we will work on transitioning all of our channels.

More efficient updates coming your way with Bluefin and Aurora 3.4!
The main change is that those on the `latest` channel will have rechunk enabled, with this feature coming to `gts` and `stable` users after it's gotten more testing. Daily and weekly updates will be smaller!*
Goal is still to move to ztsd:chunked images - this is to help with the issue in the short term.

You may have heard that Bluefin is an opinionated take on Fedora and Linux. But what is that opinion?
"We strongly believe that new users to Linux should be introduced via atomic image and not the traditional desktop. It is clear to us that this is a generational shift. We’re purposely here to help existing users bury the past and move on to something more useful than wrestling with their operating system."

As part of trying to make the best Linux desktop we can make, we implement Homebrew as the main package manager instead of dnf or rpm-ostree.
"Wait, isn't Homebrew a macOS think?"
Yes: https://www.ypsidanger.com/homebrew-is-great-on-linux/
