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.

I recently switched from arch to kionite and I quite like it a lot. There is defenitly more stability and security. Although rpm-ostree I quite a learning curve compared to pacman.

Either way for anyone curious ask NY anything about the distro / the switch to it.

Why Kinoite over say uBlue's Aurora, Bazzite or even uBlue's base^[That just includes a bunch of basic stuff you'd most likely want anyways.] Kinoite image?

For my Laptop I wanted to stick with the basics and go from there so I didnt really checket wether there where any distros based of off kinoite or silverblue. I want to use only packages I need. I guess aurora bazzite etc would remove the fedora flatpaks out of the box which would have saved maybe 5 minutes vut either way I dont want to install derivatives from derivatives etc. for example mint or cachy(I know these have different bases the point is I want to stick to the source as close as possible)

Now on my pc on the other hand I just installed bazitte because I do play video games on it.

Fedora licensing cripples the stock Silverblue offerings. Using an immutable without the drivers and codecs baked in is not great. Sure you can add these with ostree, but then why use an immutable ..

yeah I get that for my laptop it works out just fine. however for my pc I use bazzite as it has an nvidia gpu.

overall thats a good point and definitly something people should consider.
