I consider myself fortunate to be able to run Linux as a daily driver for both work and play. Having previously used Ubuntu, Arch, and other non-atomic distributions, I've settled on Fedora Kinoite and thought I’d share some of my experience:

Mindset Change

When I first tried an atomic distro (Silverblue), I didn’t really gel with it. At the time, I didn’t fully appreciate Flatpaks—partly because of some bad experiences with Ubuntu’s Snap packages. I’d also been using traditional package managers for years and was very accustomed to that workflow.

After some perseverance, I began to appreciate how Flatpaks operate and how clean and minimal I could keep my base operating system.

Embracing Container-Driven Development

I regularly switch between writing YAML manifests, Go code, JSON parsing, Bash scripts, C code, Ansible, and more. Combining VS Code and Podman via DevContainers has been a huge plus. It aligns well with the philosophy of atomic distributions: isolated, sandboxed environments tailored for specific purposes.

If I need to switch versions of Go, Ansible, etc., I can just change the container image spec. That’s when I really started to appreciate how I should be using an atomic distro.

For applications (e.g., VS Code, VLC, Spotify), I generally follow this order to decide how they get installed:

1. Flatpak
2. Within a toolbox container
3. Layered on the host

Key Positives

• Straightforward upgrades: I've gone from Fedora 40 → 41 → 42 using a rebase, and the process was very smooth.
• Straightforward rollbacks: I haven’t needed to do this yet, but it’s as simple as booting into the previous image.
• Improved Flatpak ecosystem: Flatpak apps have improved significantly in recent years.

Drawbacks

• Slower layering process: When layering is needed (i.e., adding packages directly to the OS), the process is slower compared to a simple dnf install -y <package>.
• Reboot required: Layered packages require a reboot to take effect.

I recently came across this post install guide on GItHub: https://github.com/devangshekhawat/Fedora-42-Post-Install-Guide. I was wondering what you all think about the recommendations. Especially, the sections about media codecs and hardware video acceleration. Sounds promising, but it makes me wonder why this isn't part of the default installation. There must be a valid reason for that I suppose.

I do remember manually installing Intel media drivers in Arch, but that's because in Arch a lot of things are installed manually. I assumed I wouldn't have to do that in Fedora.

Looking forward to your responses.

I wish the sub mods would create a mega thread for that subject so that we can focus more productive topics instead of the daily 10ish posts about that same subject.

Yet, another video, but I found the order of these relevant, and the explanations worth it. I hope it helps other newbies.

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Fedora and looking for a better terminal emulator than the default one. I’m looking for something fast, customizable, and that works well with shells like zsh or fish.

I've seen people talk about Alacritty, Kitty, Tilix, and a few others. What do you use and why? I mainly do development work, so I care about performance and good UX for tools like Git, Docker, etc.

Thanks!

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the attention to detail Fedora puts into the boot experience, especially with the OEM-style Fedora logo that shows during startup now. It’s such a small thing, but it makes a huge difference.

No GRUB screen flash, no janky resolution switch. Just a smooth fade-in of the vendor logo + Fedora spinner. It honestly feels like I’m booting into a commercial OS, but without the bloat, 😎.

Props to the team behind this.
