I agree, besides basic patterns to search for, that will most likely be necessary. In fact looking a bit more at this tool, it has a list of “rules” tailored to each software specifically, I guess this could be sustainable really only if a repository of third party extensions was kept so that anyone could contribute and the pool of rules expanded progressively
Origin story of the manguin
A tool would actually be so good to have, it’s such a common thing that we don’t even think about it much. You sparked my curiosity so I tried to search if there was one and it seems there is a project out there: loganon, though it’s long dead unfortunately
I use LXD (or Incus) containers
I’ve been curious about those for a while, what are they about, are they somehow better than the usual Docker/Podman conatiners?
Absolutely, it’s also made way easier with quickemu, allows you to spin up a properly configured Windows VM with pretty much no effort

That’s class
DivestOS on my tablet
Cool, there are supported tablets now?
Oh I thought that was only Artix, what does CachyOS use?
Is that so? From the issue I read there was no way around it because the two images are fundamentally incompatible once you layer that package, you had to remove the layered package, it seemed from the discussion that they might have “fixed” the base image at some point as a pull request was opened on Pagure. I waited a bit for it to go upstream, but nothing happened for a long time and just went thorugh with the manual intervention, and actually, now that I check it again, the maintainer siosm commented that they can’t accept the PR
Doesn’t Bazzite have the base image modified to have the codecs included already? I think that’s probably why you didn’t experience any disruption there
- Full hardware accelerated codec support for H264 decoding.

Love the irony, but this is painting a little too good a picture
Every update is just… meh. Smooth, new, fresh system not affected by my stupid tweaking and breaking
Most times yes, but major updates usually cause some trouble, like from 39 to 40, you couldn’t do it without uninstalling the codecs for Firefox. Firefox that is installed by default as an RPM, because the Flatpak Firefox doesn’t yet have 100% compatibility with all the features that work with the RPM, so as a user you’re pretty much led to get yourself stuck in this hole, not too difficult to fix in the end, but still a pain to find out and fix.
Everything else is 100% true! And I think it will be always hard to beat as an implementation of immutability (second place only to NixOS imo), A/B partitioning doesn’t hold a candle to OSTree
TL;DR Don’t (unless your needs are really basic or you really don’t want to layer more packages)
Distrobox ftw, its website is pretty good to find all its features and it has a neat GUI BoxBuddy too! And also the generic Pods can be useful for more advanced needs.
Extra tip: if you have more time to spend on learning, I think Nix Home Manager will actually be the better solution in the long run, no need to worry about containers breaking in some way after system updates with scattered solutions that are hard to understand and remember, also you get to bring your configuration anywhere
You use the AUR because you want more packages.
I use the AUR because I believe in humanity.
We are NOT the same.
Ahh, thank you
Outfits? What does it mean in this context?
Both features are important IMO, reproducibility is for being able to define certain aspects of your machine in a way that you can nuke it and, as long as you have its configuration (declarative for Nix, other implementations might have it as imperative), bring it back just how it was set up, without differences or breakages; while immutability is for being always confident that whatever* you do to your machine, you won’t be able to break it because the root, which holds the functioning core of your system, can’t be messed around with, NixOS has both I believe.
*not really “whatever”, because there are still some ways to break, but you have to be very deliberate in doing it (think rm -rf /*
), but in normal operation you won’t just somehow install something or upgrade your packages and be left with an unusable system
I think ublue is the best incarnation of this style of “tweak forks”, it meaningfully expands on the base, but still remains compatible with the original since you can just do a rebase from one of the original Fedora Atomic spins… which wouldn’t have been possible without OSTree, so thanks, Fedora devs :)
AGPL on documentation? What would that do?
