ChimeraOS carried nvidia drivers for years. The issue is that Valve's Gamescope, which is now a requirement for Steam doesn't run well on the nvidia drivers, and old big picture mode got retired.

They're just catching up to Android, ChromeOS, and SteamOS. The market rejected traditional needs-a-sysadmin linuxes on client a long time ago.

There's rough rhythm-only cuts of Justice on music services (I think they were on the last reissue) and it's like listening to an entirely new dimension of those songs. I don't play guitar but my friend does and he was like &

Thanks for the shout out! I haven't seen people talk about some of the other features so I'll mention a few for the others: At first you do it manually like keeping an ubuntu LTS box around for when I need to do that kind of stuff

ublue is based off of fedora and rpm-ostree, which is what "CoreOS" is today. What happened was old school CoreOS was A/B partition based: https://github.com/coreos/docs/blob/master/os&#x2F

Flatcar uses 2 partitions, A and B, you boot into one and then updates update the one that you're not booted into, when you reboot it it boots into the updated one. It's like Android: https://source.android.com/doc

I agree that policing a bunch of third party rebundling of apps is problematic but the entire idea of just giving up and letting user applications splat all over my system because that's how linux always has been doesn't work.
