Silverblue is far from ready for primetime. You'll have way less problems with fedora workstation.
I wanted to like silverbluez used it on the homelab as a host os for a while, went back to a normal server in the end, way less hassle.
- Iolaum 5y agoSilverblue is a desktop os not a server. There is the coreos version that is intended for server use. It does need a different paradigm however. On normal fedoara server you are installing packages for applications you want to use, however on an rpm-ostree based system it is intended that you install applications by using containers. Depending on what you want to do, you use the appropriate version. Indeed if one is not willing/able to climb the learning curve of this paradigm shift, then they shouldn't use it.
- lugged 5y agoWell I was setting up a desktop machine as a server. The idea of silverblue is great, only it sucks to actually use. Updates are slow, and everything is just needlessly harder. I get why maintainers want to push flappypacks, I just don't care, it's a shit solution that leaks all over your users. Find a better way to fix your problems.
