Linux

Wow! Another reason to keep supporting uBlue. That's how leadership is supposed to be. He did something wrong and instantly apologizes deeply and gives us a simple solution. I'm very proud and my trust is strengthened, thanks!

I would like to share the fixing script here, but don't feel comfortable anyone executing something I copy-pasted because of security. Go and read the letter yourself, it will take literally one minute.

If you dont want to miss future announcements:

I don't blame the guy for being human and it's free software etc, but this is reality bad optics for immutable distros. If my nephew and grandma are going to need manual interventions like this one, then might as well use a less restrictive system. The promise of seamless and easy updates are the main draw for me.

It would be much appreciated if UniBlue made the update process more robust and more resistant to such mistakes.

(also curl piped into sudo bash is way more common than it should be)

The fix is dead simple, no worries.

Bluefin-DX is great! I’m still figuring out how everything works - there are a lot of tools included that are new to me, despite being a cloud-oriented developer.

It’s a very different way to use Linux, from how the OS is constructed, to the container-first nature of the default applications and intended workflow. But I’m really enjoying learning how to use it.

Thanks for spreading the word!

I installed Bazzite on a Dell latitude just to check it out... The son of a bitch booted once, let me install updates then never booted again.

I need to send this to myself in the AM as a reminder

Finally got updated 😄👍

Logout still hangs on both X and Wayland sessions (KDE) 😫👎

Lol
