Of all the things people argue about! Ultimately they both do the same thing – take an existing workflow that I know, and add an abstraction layer that gives us tons of new options. Interactivity within the container's shell is powerful, but there needs to be user experience changes in order…
Every once in a while I see someone complaining that they've lost work because their toolbox/distrobox got destroyed. I'm going to go over how we can use declarative config to remove this bit of jank from our lives. We don't want distroboxes to be pets either! This is part…
And a great hotrodded SteamOS, and a great developer-focused image with all the awesome cloud-native tools. TLDR: Universal Blue is a toolkit for making your own custom image of the Fedora Silverblue variants. So we do a bunch of cool stuff with it. This post will make much more sense…

Each of them take different approaches to moving towards a more zero-trust/cloud-native approach to the desktop. Fedora and EndlessOS are all in on ostree, openSUSE is using…
While moving to an image based operating system has been a gamechanger for me it's important to remember that if it's doing it's job it's invisible. My graphical applications are already handled by Flatpak, so I thought I would take some time investing in modernizing my command line workflow. Toolbx…
