Our website got a redesign! No more looking like a documentation site - now Universal Blue has a slick landing page just like Bluefin and Bazzite.
Check it out! Tell a friend! https://universal-blue.org/
Thanks to @kylegospo for making this.
@UniversalBlue @kylegospo The new website looks beautiful! And was a good reminder for me to swap from stock Silverblue to Bluefin.
As a heads up , I'm getting this error on the Project Bluefin page (across a few devices).
@finktank @UniversalBlue Thanks for the heads up! Our SSL is provided by Cloudflare but I'll see if I can reproduce it.
@kylegospo @UniversalBlue in case it helps any further, I continue to get that error but only in Firefox (desktop and mobile).
Safari however opens the beautiful page!
@UniversalBlue @kylegospo I'm sure that's good, but it's just a white page with a spinner in Firefox Focus :/
@forteller @UniversalBlue I'm not able to reproduce this.
@UniversalBlue @kylegospo I really like the new website, it's very minimalistic!
@UniversalBlue @kylegospo No but seriously: The new website is great and definitely an improvement as the new landing page of the project. I only find it a bit unfortunate that more and more websites just don't contain any content anymore unless it is lazy loaded via JS first. Especially in case where it really wouldn't be necessary (read: Everything that just shows content to read and isn't fudamentally a full single page app).
@minWi @UniversalBlue up for me, any JS errors?
It's hosted on GitHub with Cloudflare in front, would take an act of god for it to go down.
lol
In fact it was a PEBKAC, one of the browser extensions was blocking something, it works now. Sorry for the noise! :)

@UniversalBlue @kylegospo That looks amazing, great work! Also, the new Bluefin logo is .
My only suggestion is that I dont think the base images should be so hidden, they are great daily drivers from my experience. Clean UX just like upstream Fedora Atomic, but with sane additions like distrobox and nvidia drivers. If they could have a page on the site again instead of just the github package list, that could be cool.
@dajix @UniversalBlue Thanks! We're working on simplifying custom image creation via containerfiles, when that work is done that page should contain all the base images and a ton more information about them.
@kylegospo @UniversalBlue Oooh, okay. I have made a couple of uBlue images based on startingpoint, so I am excited to see what changes are coming.
@dajix fyi, startingpoint has spun off to become its own project - BlueBuild! Not part of uBlue organization anymore, but we vibe.
https://blue-build.org/
@UniversalBlue @kylegospo Ahh, okay. So does that mean uBlue is working on a simple way to build images, and then BlueBuild now exists as a 3rd party alternative method to achieve the same result?
@dajix @kylegospo not quite. uBlue exists as a proof of concept and focuses on the cloud native way of making and maintaining a custom image of Fedora. We do it the way a cloud or DevOps engineer would do it. Then Bluefin/Bazzite are the final products we're working toward that can be enjoyed super simply.
BlueBuild is working on the simpler way to build images that doesn't require knowing cloud native stuff. Used to live in uBlue, now they spun off.
@UniversalBlue @kylegospo Ahh, okay, that makes sense. Thank you!
Where can I find the ISO for installing Base Image? Where can I find the documentation. The link is broken.
@BEHN @UniversalBlue We do not release ISOs for base images. They're meant to be extended by the community and not used as an actual OS, which is also why they are heavily de-emphasized in the new site.
No more Fedora Silverblue ublue Edition? Only Bazite and Bluefin?
@BEHN @UniversalBlue those images are present and always will be. We do not release ISOs for them, and we do not recommend their use as a desktop for most users. Bluefin and Bazzite are directly based on ublue Silverblue.
