Difference between silverblue / universal Blue / Bluefin / Aurora / Bazzite ?

Hi ! I'm a little confuse between all immutable versions based on fedora. Is this correct : universal blue = tool to create image, based on fedora atomic desktop ?

With universal blue, they created :

  • Bluefin = gnome
  • Bluefin-DX = gnome + developper tools
  • Aurora = kde
  • Aurora-DX = kde + developper tools
  • Bazzite = games

What the difference between silverble and bluefin for example, and which are you using ?

Yeah checkout ucore, which is derived from CoreOS instead of Silverblue: https://github.com/ublue-os/ucore

Does ublue have any plans to do variants of Fedora IoT? CoreOS seems more targeted for cloud than home servers. The ignition file is a benefit if you want to spin up hundreds of servers but a bit of a hindrance if you just starting out at home with a machine or two.

If they are just installing to a single machine and don't need drivers or kernel mods I'd suggest IoT over bothering with anything CoreOS.

We probably won't (we're not looking to grow that much anymore), but I think someone should definitely take either portainer or the proxmox stack and just slap it on top a CoreOS image with a user friendly installer and make a killer SMB server.
