  • Which is funny because Ubuntu is also the only distro that wants you to install the Steam snap instead, which is then again unsupported.

  • Switching from and to desktop mode works exactly the same as on SteamOS, but if you are not setting up a handheld or HTPC, Bazzite also has regular KDE/GNOME desktop images, and even -dx images like Bluefin. I've been pretty happy with my various Bazzite installations.

  • Not just flashing but also flickering, some headlights that I've seen in the wild look quite aggressive if they are in the periphery; dimming gone wrong? Anything that flickers or flashes will be brighter at peak than if it was a constant light source.

  • My understanding is that MacRuby relied on Apple's ill-fated attempts to migrate from reference counting to regular garbage collection. I would be surprised if GC still worked on modern arm64 macOS. RubyMotion later adopted ARC but then it's not really Ruby anymore.

  • I think I agree with what the grandparent poster wrote, and I'll try to expand on my reasoning. As a mildly paranoid user, I cannot possibly keep track all of all the individuals who maintain parts of Bluefin, no matter how much I like following all of you on Discord etc. I still don't even know what a DistGit or COPR is.

    When I install a more corporate product such as Ubuntu or macOS, sure, it's also mostly middlemen repackaging other people's code. But it is clear what and who belongs to the company or team, and the team has a shared interest in protecting its reputation, and hopefully pwning or buying a single individual's accounts cannot infect everything else.

    To that end, I agree that "consolidation" would help - sometimes that might mean controlled mirroring of things into the Bluefin org or so - but that is exactly what distros do, and I understand that Bluefin does not want to be a distro.
