  • Yep, I’m with you. Project Bluefin is exactly what I want from an OS. My previous Linux experiences had all been awful UX, having to diagnose obscure issues and copy pasting decipherable terminal commands. Until Bluefin, nothing ever worked straight out of the box.

    Bluefin’s main issue right now is a lack of good documentation. Like you, I’ve tried to get devcontainers working and they just don’t.


  • As others have said, not with Linux Mint.

    However if you were running an atomic distro such as Aurora, Bazzite, Project Bluefin, or Fedora Silverblue you can “rebase” from one to another.

    With an atomic distro all the system files are immutable, you can read them but only the OS can change them. As there’s a clear distinction from user files (anything in /var or /home) the OS can simply replace all the system components with a new distro and re-mount your files.

    1. I actively chose software written in Rust over other software, even if it’s not better, and I argue that it is.

    Rust has quite a high barrier for entry which is likely to deter inexperienced developers. I’d say that’s enough justification to favour software written in Rust.

    Python on the other hand is far too easy to get started with, thus the ecosystem is plagued with terrible software. I avoid it like the plague. Yes, there some decent projects written in Python but they are rare things
