    I am thinking of switching from Linux Mint to Fedora. I have always liked Fedora, but have been bitten by some BS like NVIDIA drivers not working and some programs only available as a .deb file (I know about alien… or do I?)

    I love GNOME DE, has that modern “I work on a spaceship” feel.

    I mostly do music production and some gaming, so pipewire seems intriguing.

    Here is the real question: Should I got Silverblue? I just learned about distrobox, so maybe that is my solution for programs I cannot get through flatpak?

      You can install silverblue, and then rebase to ublue ( https://universal-blue.org/ ). Specifically to the “silverblue-nvidia” variant, and you should get a nice silverblue experience without any of the nvidia struggles, as people at the ublue project take care of that stuff for you.

      And yes, distrobox is the goto solution to run stuff that is basically ubuntu-only, or by extension bound to any distro variant / version and not flatpak. This includes graphical applications. Distrobox works great, I do all my work in it.

        Nice! Looks like I have a fun night ahead of me!

        Thank you for showing me uBlue! I want to avoid os-tree if I can, since that seems to defeat the purpose.

          How so?

        I saw that the image was failing to build, so I took a chance and followed the RPMFUSION guide and installed it successfully. I am learning to use toolbox for CLI stuff, but now I am going to learn about Distrobox!!
