I'm weighing the benefits vs. headaches in Atomic Fedora (Silverblue/Kinoite 41) and traditional distros (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, etc).

I've said before that I feel like I run into one serious bug for every two Fedora releases, and right now I'm dealing with two:

* Kernel 6.13 doesn't play well with Flatpaks

* I can't do an rpm-ostree upgrade without some hackery

1/2

Am I the only Fedora Kinoite or Silverblue user with a bad mirror that keeps me from updating the main system?

$ rpm-ostree upgrade

Fedora Kinoite video player tip:

There is no Flatpak in Flathub for the Dragon Video Player, but there is one in the Fedora Flatpak repo.

It does not have all the codecs you would expect from a Flathub Flatpak.

I'm using the Haruna Media Player from Flathub. It has the codecs and can play all the videos I've thrown at it.

I spent too much time today trying to figure out how to make the clipboard work in the Neovim and Neovide Flatpaks in Fedora Kinoite.

It only works after I run :checkhealth

Nothing I put in my init.vim made any difference.

None of the tutorials really got into possible fixes in this situation (Atomic Fedora and Flatpak)

Most of my .vimrc didn't transfer over. All of my macros and abbreviations are broken.

To test my theory that it's something in the world of GTK desktops that is causing my intermittent issue with suspend/resume and shutdown (in which the screen goes blank and the system doesn't resume or turn off about 10% of the time), I am currently rebasing my Fedora Silverblue system to Kinoite.

Let's see if this works -- both as a working system and for the power-management issue.

Has this ever happened to you?

I am trying (and failing BTW) to mount a Samba share with /etc/fstab in Fedora Silverblue 41, and I wanted to comment out a line in the file.

Instead of typing #, I typed $, saved the file and rebooted.

The system wouldn't boot.

I used a live Fedora image to get into the drive and replace $ with #.

Then it booted.

Still can't get a Samba share mounted in /etc/fstab, but at least I can boot and log in.

I'm as intrigued by #Guix as I was by #NixOS, but ultimately I'm not sure the complexity is worth it for me.

Even #OpenBSD has a ratio of complexity vs. benefits that fits well with my work (and play) flow.

#AtomicFedora, #UniversalBlue and #OpenSUSE #Aeon all hide enough of the nitty gritty behind the scenes — updates happen without me needing to know it.

And traditional #Debian is so familiar and reliable, it's hard not to tap it for just about any use case.
