Fedora Silverblue is amazing! It's a nice distro for gaming too, with flatpak steam, hero launcher and Lutris from flathub beta repo. None of that Wine and x86 libs messing with the system anymore.

One of your best and most interesting videos so far Stephan thank you!

Another useful lesson. I ran into some puzzling newbie quirks after updating, then wrote on a piece of paper which I keep next to my keyboard: REBOOT ! It all runs smoothly thereafter. A really great system.

Thanks for that informative overview of Fedora Silverblue. I will be formatting my system and installing Silverblue this week.

Fab distro - great video lots of insights for us all, and you seem to be on fire Steven. Keep 'em coming! Particularly liked your jammy-dodger (if you see what I mean 😂 a few weeks ago!) Thanks love it!

Awesome video thank you so much Stephen.

Thanks for the great content! I undoubtedly will switch to SilverBlue in the nearest future.

Just trying out Fedora 38 silverblue. Very helpful

Awesome video glad I came across it. Been playing around with Silverblue and didn't quite understand where mutability both started and ended I think I have a better idea now. Got my sub

Super clear and deals more with the practicality than the theory.

This was very useful

Subbed! Good video. I'm thinking about delving into the Silverblue life

Since the immutables got some more recognition in the last year or two, what I would like someone to make is a more in-depth comparison of different technologies. Most of what I've seen stops at "fedora - toolbox and rpm-ostree, microos - distrobox and btrfs snapshots" but I still don't know what are the pros and cons of each approach. Nevertheless, as always great video! keep'em coming :)

This helped me get stared wih Silverblue 37.

Stunningly more brilliant than your regular tutorials. Silverblue is the end of my distro search. How did you get Extension Manager installed? I did not see you install it. Is the 37 install much different?

This is very interesting project from Fedora. Great review as always :) Question - what do you use on your desktop? What stable Linux Distro you recommend for desktop?

This was a great introduction into Fedora Silverblue. Thanks for that! I wish toolbox would have a more "isolated" mode, where it doesn't pollute my mutable FS(eg home dir). In order to have that complete isolation, I would need to use podman directly.

Compliments deserved for an excellent introduction to Silverblue (SB). I welcome any guidance for installing SB on a Chromebook to replace the Chrome OS.

Any way to set up the taskbar in traditional bottom orientation, with everything placed on it and nothing along the top? Ideally set up simply during the installation of the OS. I am just now getting into Linux because Windows 11 is a road too far for me...but I remember trying to use Macs. I just couldn't do it. I can't get used to the changed GUI. I need everything to be where it is supposed to be, as Microsoft trained(brainwashed) me. After 28 years of using Windows, it's far too late for me to change. Ironically, the different file structure does not faze me all that much.

So if I install VS Code via the toolbox will all its settings disappear if I remove it and reinstall it? In other words, do containerized (even Flatpaks) still leave junk in your home directory, and just not leave files in the system? Often I wish I could roll back my home directory.

Thanks, I'll have to try this. I quite like the macOS look too. Can global menus be installed in Gnome?

why did sudo dnf upgrade find packages to upgrade if you already updated the whole system before?

Amazing video! but how to launch (e.g gnome-tweaks inside toolbox) from the applications menu?

Does the base installation of Silverblue include everything necessary to create and run virtual machines, or must that be added as a layer?

I only wish we could have systemd-boot instead of Grub as an option. I would have to maintain my own os-tree to do so. . .

I don't quite get how /etc can be immutable. I often want to tweak package configs that live in /etc

love silverblue so far. installing nvidia drivers has been a pain though.

Does that mean the CUSTOMIZABILITY of the previous versions is gone.. ????

:)

This is like all other Fedora distros, terrible installer that makes the simple complicated even if you pick the straightforward installation. Terribly slow to update and then it will break after the first or second update. I don't have a new or too old setup and all other distros run fine but as for Fedora it just doesn't do it for me.
