    Fedora Silverblue

    • I like Gnome
    • I like that Fedora adopts new technology quickly
    • I like how it makes updates more reliable
    • I like flatpak

      Same here, I use Silverblue as host OS on all of my workstations now, and Arch for nearly all of my containers.

      Flatpak for just about everything in the userspace.

        I was using Debian and Docker for my servers, but I’m switching to uCore and Podman. It was a decent learning curve, but I think I’m going to like it better.

          I hated postman so much I switched back to Docker. Why compose was better at handling dependent containers then quadlets. Yes I could use postman compose but heard it’s no longer supported and if I’m using it might as well use a supported docker compose.

            I never used Docker compose. If I had two containers that needed to communicate, I’d just setup networking for them.

        1. Flatpak, create a shell script to call the flatpak command and pass arguments
        2. If the app doesn’t work well as a flatpak or isn’t packaged, I would use distrobox
        3. If the app doesn’t work well in distrobox, I’d rpm-ostree install it
        4. If I’m feeling fancy, I might look into installing homebrew. But you need to do some workarounds with PATH and homebrew otherwise it can break things; Universal Blue includes these workarounds out of the box
