There already is an experimental image based on Silverblue with the alpha stage Cosmic Epoch Desktop.
Mainly finetuning and SELinux profiles are needed!
Join the Matrix Group! (yes, no Discord 😉)
desktop linux is turning into android lmao
All thanks to guhnome and shit hat
This would be awesome. Fedora has really been one of the best distros lately, hopefully they don’t get fucked by Red Hat in the future.
Didnt it get fucked once? Also what did fedora do lately? Seriously asking.
No, they only fucked CentOS, and they made RHEL proprietary last year. Since Ubuntu’s decline, Fedora basically took it’s place. It’s very stable but not extremely outdated, has great security, always supports the newest technologies like Flatpak, Wayland, Pipewire, etc., has good Desktop spins and constantly innovates. The next Fedora KDE release will even completely drop support for X11, which is a good step because it forces developers to adopt Wayland. They also have pretty good immutable spins like Silverblue, Kinoite and others. Other cool distros like Nobara and uBlue are also built on top of Fedora.
Its not really proprietary. Developers get the code, and everyone that gets the binaries also gets the code. Thats GPL compliant.
To quote Software Freedom Conservancy:
For approximately twenty years, Red Hat (now a fully owned subsidiary of IBM) has experimented with building a business model for operating system deployment and distribution that looks, feels, and acts like a proprietary one, but nonetheless complies with the GPL and other standard copyleft terms.
To quote both of you “nevertheless complies with the GPL and other standard copyleft terms”.
Were you trying to prove his point?
As shocking as this might be, I think he’s agreeing, and offering supplimentary proof
Obviously they comply with the GPL, otherwise they would get sued. But Red Hat acts exactly like a proprietary software company. That’s what the quote is trying to say.
@Dehydrated but something something proprietary! waa!
/sI know that it’s a joke, but find me a distro that doesn’t include any proprietary blobs.

It sucks a lot.
It’s not that big of a deal
I mean we have a monolithic kernel, with every single line of code running as root, that contains proprietary garbage. Thats even worse than Windows if you ask me, where you can see the drivers processes, which means they are seperate processes.
I will soon compile my own kernel, because I dont really feel good with running such a bloated piece of bad code on my standard intel laptop.
You mean besides Fedora?
No, because Fedora DOES include proprietary blobs (for a good reason)
Really? Which ones?
This is pretty much my setup anyway. I run Pop Shell on top of Fedora and add dash to dock.
I’m just absolutely hooked on the autotiling built into pop shell.
If its an official spin all the better.
System76 developed its own Desktop, not a modified GNOME anymore. It looks similar, but it is a completely different and novel piece of software.
