The techno-curmudgeon! 103 years old, been gaming since the roaring 20s. Back in my day the PlayStation was a SNES add-on. Get off my lawn!

I have Bazzite installed on a computer that sits under the TV for gaming/entertainment, my kid also uses Bazzite as her desktop OS. Bluefin is on devices I actually use for work (networking, security, support, etc).

The Bluefin installs are all live media so you can take a look and see what you think.

every other Unix-like OS, but much like macOS I really don't think about it. There is no "should I actually update now" thoughts.

Bluefin, and Bazzite have become the default versions of Linux I recommend to people now. Maybe I'm just getting old and lazy, and do enough tech support at work. :)

Hi. I have spent many years mainly using Debian (Testing or Unstable), and have had updates break the OS multiple times. This cannot happen in Universal Blue's images. When you manually pull an update using "ujust update" you are getting a new working image. So for me it works just like...

I just find a nice corner and hammer that "." key, and hope the Kestrel doesn't come looking for me.

What a game!

The kid was playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on the under the TV Linux box... and while she was out of the room I did a sneaky Rogue install, and fired it up in a full screen terminal.

Nah, she didn't play it... she just looked at me like I was the weird one.

So the kid is replacing Windows with Linux on her desktop right now. It only feels like 30 years ago I was doing this for the first time too.
