Distro agnostic, it's just a flathub store.

I am very proud to say that it's not ours, we are going out of our way to support it but this is something that could come to any distro and hopefully will.

One of many reasons we replaced it.

Yeah, it seems there's something going on with what's listed here. It doesn't match any other measurement.

You are not forgiven, your behavior was disgusting beyond all measure.

In no uncertain terms would I ever recommend Arch to a beginner, nor would I help a user behaving in the way that you did.

Do not reach out to me again on any platform.

Bazzite founder here. I started Bazzite after spending a few months helping with support on the steam deck Discord because I had already been using atomic fedora and knew the proper workarounds for people who wanted to install applications on a read-only distro like SteamOS.

Bazzite was initially an experiment to see what it would take to get SteamOS packages working in Fedora Atomic, because I knew Fedora Atomic provided a better experience for installing applications that had to be a part of the root system than SteamOS could.

Unlike SteamOS you can layer applications over the root system and they will be kept across updates instead of being removed entirely. You're also able to spin off custom images with any changes you want through a GitHub action. You have full access to the roof file system during the build process.

I also don't understand them

distrobox is not a vm

Let's agree to disagree. I think it's the single best thing to come to the desktop in the last decade and using containers as build environments has made my workflow immensely better.

Our documentation guy cooked so hard he got burnt out, please read them they're excellent.

Legitimately if you're a programmer and you think using a container is a pain in the ass, you should stop programming.

Source: 20 plus years software engineer, if I didn't have containers I would go ahead and hurry along my retirement.

Bro I'm the lead developer and I'm just now seeing this, just accept you called the viral marketing wrong.

We've grown to the point that when I market something, I tell people not to listen to me because I'm biased.

Bazzite founder here, We actually ship with no X11 session installed. This change was made when we rebased on Fedora 41.

You can of course install one, but it's our policy that if you open an issue while using X11 we ask you to try again on Wayland, and if it doesn't happen there your issue is getting closed.

When proton rebases on the latest wine we will be very close to being in a position where we can just remove all xWayland packages, I suspect that will happen in the next few years.

I'm not sure how you've decided the term is vague but it doesn't matter, it's a decade old term with an entire foundation built around it that's part of the Linux Foundation.

You should tell them it's vague. The truth is users with your opinion are not a growth target, I've dealt with maybe three of you in over 9 million downloads.

I appreciate the input. You and I had the same opinion which is actually why I went with container native in the first place. I was trying to avoid the word cloud because I felt that some gamers would misconstrue it.

The reason I've changed it back and made it accurate is that I feel we have reached the point of saturation where some benefit of the doubt is present, and the word cloud may lead people to look twice rather than just run away.

I did make sure to watch our numbers before and after that change and I saw no discernible difference in bounce rate or ISO download growth rate. In fact in a previous comment in this thread I said we had 400TB/no in ISOs - That is now 460TB not even a couple days later.

One other way to look at it to is it benefits us twofold, in one sense we're getting cloud nerds like you and me interested in a fun new toy that is directly in our wheelhouse (and we want those, cloud nerds are quality engineers and contributors), and in another, we're showing both windows users and existing Linux users an ironically lesser known part of Linux among desktop users -- cloud native -- despite it being probably the biggest money maker in Linux. People can contribute to Bazzite who might have never done anything in the Linux space before and accidentally find themselves on the path to a real paying Linux job.

I'll check it out, thanks

Yeah sorry, your opinion's just not that important. Maybe if you showed a shred of interest in growing the Linux desktop I might be inclined to care

I can tell you right now if you want the Linux ecosystem to grow, the average person is probably downloading the installer and installing it because of word of mouth or mentions in YouTube videos, and not writing all of these words I'm not going to read on lemmy.

You've already done a direct disservice to your cause by starting this comment thread in the first place -- trying your best to dissuade one such user because you don't like a word and don't like that a developer doesn't value your opinion of that word.

Thanks! Our entire ujust/first run process is very much a work in progress and we're trying to improve it asap.

Cloud native is the end product too. The point of my firmness with you was not to express that I don't care about windows users -- quite the contrary, none of this would exist without that -- but to express that I don't care about your issue with the definition of an already defined word.
