Really looking forward to Digital Foundry's findings on #linux on the ASUS ROG Ally X. Olie Mack describes SteamOS as "Flexible, fast, scalable, useful ... genuinely good" then describes how http://#bazzite and #fedora bring that experience to the device:

Tom's Guide brings out the numbers on #bazzite performance vs. Windows on the ROG Ally X.
It's not pretty for one of our competitors.

@npub10zm…zrpx Yeah it's easier for a group of people to make a thing, hence Aurora, Bazzite, etc. that's targeted towards a certain audience.

@npub10zm…zrpx Yeah you're shifting from runtime config to build time config.

NGL it feels real good when someone digs the https://projectbluefin.io #gnome experience.
We're like that gen-x GNOME from back in the day. Tossing in a bit of Ubuntu and Ximian inspired flavor.

Like are you making a "better aurora" or something totally different? First one is easy, 2nd one is harder.

Nirav's #1 is making these laptops the best for #linux - New meteor lake, and the new display looks great, 120hz with VRR.
They purposely picked 2880x1920 so that Linux users can avoid fractional scaling entirely.
Can retrofit it onto existing 13's too! I'm totally getting the display because of the rounded corners. Ximian #GNOME lives!

@npub1rnj…vtmy We'll be technically shipping on the same day as Fedora but was thinking of doing all the announcements the next day so it's a one-two combo punch.

@npub188q…3jlx dude I got it. What we need to do is figure out how to get content creators more involved with the process, so that we can just help each other out.
I can think of so many OSS developers who would be open to just explaining stuff to content creators because in the long run it's less work for them. But with an understanding of critique and independence. Like how the pros do it.
If we can't explain this stuff to you and @npub1tvq…l6jk then there's no way average tech will get it.

2023-08-23 12:52:50

- reply

@npub1tvq…l6jk Heya Liam, thanks for the write up! On the "new distro" thing, it's not that.
This is a relatively new technique to the Linux desktop of layering custom changes onto an existing Fedora image.
You can always throw away those customizations and boot into a pristine upstream Fedora image. (or any other image for that matter).
So it's applying a config on top of Fedora. This is an important distinction we try to make because no one wants more distros (and we agree!)

2023-07-24 14:02:12

The https://ublue.it Bazzite team have been busy collabing with ChimeraOS and others to get #fedora running on the deck. Lots of activity over the past two weeks, it's going to be great once they hit a stable release!
