Finally got to play with #ublueAurora, overall quite neat, although setting things up for developing with #dotnet took some work; the #devcontainers idea is interesting, but both #vscode and #JetbrainsRider could use some polish on it.
Also a bit sad I haven't found a way to install #powershell on it yet.

My Aurora desktop 
Ptyxis terminal is great for toolbox container integration. I'm used to a Quake-style dropdown terminal, so I'd like to find a way to hide/show the terminal window with a keyboard shortcut (alt+z). There is possibly a way to do it by writing a kwin script.
I'm eventually going to build my own custom image with the ublue-os/image-template repository.
So I think I'm going to give Aurora a try.
Ptyxis seems like it would make using toolbox/distroboxes convenient. One thing I'm iffy about is possibly having to layer Prometheus node_exporter. The only way to run it in a container that is able to read the right system information would be to run podman as root. But most things that I run locally should be able to run just as well and seamlessly in rootless containers. These include ntfy, Grafana, Prometheus. Podman Desktop would make this easy.
The defaults listed on this page seem great. Tailscale, Flathub out of the box. The Aurora DX developer mode seems pretty interesting.

My first contribution to @UniversalBlue just merged 
#Bluefin and #uBlueAurora users will soon be able to select AirPlay speakers on their network in their favorite desktop environment for audio output. 
Today (and late last night) I made my very own Linux distro. Well not really, but also kind of…
Are you a Linux nerd that has to run Ubuntu at work because of Intune compliance, but would rather run the latest in cool immutable developer focused Fedora variants?
Well then, lucky you, you’re the very niche market for my slightly tweaked version of Aurora.

@thelinuxEXP Thank you for making this follow-up video and included Fedora Plasma Mobile. While not many people seem to be interested in Linux tablets at the moment, I was one of the few that watched both videos.
I do have a Lenovo 2-in1 tablet running Auora, although if they ever do provide Plasma Mobile images, I would rebase to that.
I am very happy with my new work laptop. It's a Framework AMD 13 which I have of course installed https://getaurora.dev on.
Thanks to everyone who made suggestions when I was trying to make the decision a couple of weeks ago.
It does look like I'm getting in just before they announce the new generation, but this will be *plenty* fast for what I need.
I’ve finally got around to installing #ublueaurora on my main personal laptop, a 10 year old 11” MacBook Air.
Credit to @jorge and @UniversalBlue for engaging with the bullshit required to get the Broadcom WiFi working out if the box. *chef’s kiss*
Everything seems to work perfectly except the webcam but that is a nightmare under Linux so I’ll survive.
I’ve been playing with one of my terrible Chromebooks again.
I might need to accept that #uBlueAurora is not the right fit for an underpowered laptop with 4GB RAM and 16GB eMMC drive.
It’s a shame because I want to run it on everything, I’m mildly obsessed. 
Oh well, time for some distro hopping! #linux #universalblue
Bluefin and Aurora 41 are now available on the stable channel! If you've been thinking about trying an atomic Linux, these custom images are a great sweet spot for enthusiasts in terms of new features and stability.

idk how many is too many pinned apps, but this is how much I have pinned, juust in case I don't wanna lift my hand off my mouse :3
Loving to see the growth for Bazzite, Bluefin, and Aurora over the last year! Lots of folks are seeing how effective and easy it can be to use an atomic OS. :)
Ooh it's #uBlueAurora Fedora 41 day! My system downloaded the new image while I was working and I'm about to reboot into a whole new version.
Absolutely magic.
Bluefin GTS is now available with Fedora 40! As the slower cadence custom image, you will now enjoy 6 months on the previous version of Fedora.
https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/bluefin-gts-is-now-based-on-fedora-40/4782
For stable channel Bluefin and Aurora users, you can expect Fedora 41 in the coming weeks as we wait for the Fedora CoreOS kernel to become available.
Happy uneventful release day! You love to see it. :)
Universal Blue · Bluefin GTS is now based on Fedora 40Bluefin GTS Guardians, today Bluefin GTS switched its base from Fedora 39 to Fedora 40.

Keep in mind that this is not the official release for Fedora nor for us. This is basically so you can try the beta and will require rebasing. Once Fedora does the stable release then we will work on transitioning all of our channels.
Universal Blue · Bluefin and Aurora F41 builds now availableBluefin And Aurora Fedora 41 Beta Builds now Available Bluefin and Aurora now have Fedora 41 builds available. :41 and :beta are available for those of you who want to opt in. If you’re doing custom images note that that the main, akmods, kernel-cache, and hwe images are also pushing out :41 and :beta as well. Please file issues as you find them. You’ll need to use the manual rebase instructions for this one: Administrator's Guide Don’t worry, everyone will be getting this new autumn wallpa...
Another small update for Bluefin and Aurora! The main thing this go around is the addition of a new channel, the `stable-daily` channel. All about finding the update frequency sweet spot for folks. Please give us feedback on that channel!

Universal Blue · Bluefin and Aurora 3.6.0Another roll up release, this past week we got KDE 6.2 in Aurora, and the new Input Plumber 3.0 has landed too! We also now have a bluefin:stable-daily, which is a daily option for the stable channel. Feedback on this one is appreciated, as this one is probably the best daily driver, hah. I’ve updated the docs: Administrator's Guide, note that it has not yet landed in the rebase helper, here’s the issue 3.6.0 (2024-10-14) Features Add Borgbackup on the image for both Aurora and Bluefin (#...

Does anyone know how to enable PCI device pass through on #ublueaurora #fedorakinoite #fedora #Linux? I’m trying to enable 3D acceleration in Virtual Machine Manager. I have an #Nvidia graphics card with proprietary driver. Needed this to work for my Windows #vm, which works without 3D acceleration.
Or perhaps the PCI pass through is not needed? But I get an error if I don’t add the card as hardware in Virtual Machine Manager.
