Fedora Project<p>Bootc as a project is one with tons of promise and lots of community support.

Fluchtkapsel<p>Interesting behaviour: When downloading and opening a .flatpakref file in GNOME Software, it offers to install the flatpak from the remote fedora instead of the one referenced in the .flatpakref file. I could just observe it with the org.gimp.GIMP which is 3.0.0 in flathub but 3.0.0RC3 in fedora.</p><p>If someone reads this and can tell me where to report this I'd report it as a bug as it's unexpected behaviour.</p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnome</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/flatpak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flatpak</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fedora</span></a></p>

Micah Ilbery :sloth_coffee:<p>I think I just ran into a great example of how different tasks can require different energy levels that don't necessarily match their "difficulty".<br><br>I recently got a "new to me" laptop and at first set it up with Fedora Workstation but quickly realized I much prefer Fedora Silverblue (not the point of this post, so I won't get into why here) and needed to re setup everything. I didn't want to click through a ton of apps in GNOME Software and install them all individually then organize them in the overview.<br><br>So instead of doing all that manually I wrote a bash script from scratch to:<br><br>- remove any rpm packages I didn't want<br>- remove any flatpaks I didn't want<br>- reinstall fedora flatpaks from flathub<br>- remove the fedora flatpaks repo<br>- layer the few rpm packages I wanted<br>- install all the flatpak apps I wanted.<br>- create custom folders in the overview<br>- sort all the apps in those custom folders<br>- pin my most used apps to the dock<br><br>This felt like it required way less energy for me. Not because it was easier or faster. In fact I'm really rusty at bash scripting and I didn't even know how to organize the overview from the terminal, so I even had to learn something new and it probably took me way longer. But writing a little script was more fun for me and therefore didn't feel draining or overwhelming like the tedious task of clicking around for a couple hours would have.<br><br><a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/silverblue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Silverblue</span></a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/bashscript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BashScript</span></a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a></p>

wow, Fedora has some pretty wild networking problems going on for days now and apparently no one is working on them. Took me six tries to log into Discussions right now.

Somebody want to drop by Red Hat and help them figure out how to turn the server back on? :blobfoxangry:

Fedora Discussion · Atomic Desktop Update Error: Server Returned HTTP 502Its still an issue for now. Maybe somebody disconnected the server?? LOL Anyway the issue persists on two Kinoite installs for me.
