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’m running Neovim from a toolbox container on my #Kinoite install. I don’t think I had to do anything special to get the clipboard to work.

I did have some trouble with my dotfiles, though. I had to jump through some sort of hoop to get a Lua interpreter working.

I was running it from a flatpak, too, for a minute. Same problem: no Lua interpreter.

I’ll have to look to see how I fixed that…

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.
