Good that these finally have a unified name now, rather than people just being expected to know that Fedora + [obscure mineral you probably haven’t heard of] means immutable, plus having no idea of what mineral corresponds to what DE.
Silverblue and Kinoite are cool names, but really they should be renamed to Fedora Gnome (or Workstation, to line up with their standard desktop naming) Atomic, and Fedora Plasma Atomic, like they’ve done with Onyx >> Budgie Atomic
I understand why they wouldn’t want to suddenly change the branding of existing projects though.
I think that atomic is a way better name than immutable imo
I was kinda warming up to the totally unintended slightly inconsistent mineral based naming scheme tbh. But then, hadn’t fully…
I’m running Onyx (sorry… Fedora Budgie Atomic) on my Thinkpad and love it. Last night I decided to give Sway a shot and, when I was done with that, rolled back to Budgie without any of the cruft of installing additional DE’s alongside each other.
Right? This is one of the main reasons I love Silverblue so much: every time I wanted to test something out, it’s as quick and easy as it gets.
I tried Fedora Sway Atomic last week. It didn’t go well.
Yeah I had a similar experience when logging on to Sway - I had no clue what to do. Did you ever figure out how to bring up a menu or launcher? All I could do after googling was launch a terminal
But I went back to Plasma…
Thanks for that. Now that I know the launcher shortcut I will give it another go
