Sometimes when people ask me about image-based desktops they look at their existing setup and say "But it's been running awesome since 2009!". Since I know how to Linux I can reasonably upgrade a traditional distro like Debian or Ubuntu and be ok. For lots of people, it can go…
I've talked about setting yourself up for success trying Fedora Silverblue in a prior post, and I thought I'd keep a running log of things that I find useful, interesting, different, etc. Since I come from over a decade of Ubuntu usage I thought it might be useful for people…
