Silverblue vs uBlue
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

True, forgot that you use topgrade
There are many relevant issues and it is not a clear choice.
Yeah and nobody knows about user namespaces or seccomp filters. This is about at least 2 user groups and one is not necessarily more important than another.
It is again not a clear choice.
* in your opinionated images, I hope.
You start to sound like a GrapheneOS dev. It makes no sense to prevent users from reinstalling removed packages.
Which btw also include the Fedora Flathub repository.
You also didnt answer to the security issue of removing an entire sandboxing layer, or to the point about not being able to upgrade Distroboxes.
Do you solve the second problem by building a
latest
distrobox container following the uBlue releases?We solve this problem by treating distroboxes as cattle and not as pets. Blow them away at any time.
So what happens to the apps installed?
And what about running different distros in the same homedir, and dotfile clashes?
Use the distrobox assemble command, that'll let you have an ini file with all the stuff you want and then when the assemble command runs it'll remake the entire thing. Then just toss the assemble in cron and you'll always have a fresh container with your exact setup.
Interesting, never used that, thanks!
We no longer touch the repos as Fedora is now in agreement with using Flathub.
It's for user security. I have no interest in debating this decision, my reasons are outlined.
As said, this has pros and cons. I will try the Distrobox method though.
