~ Custom images of Fedora Atomic Desktops ~

Based RPM-OSTree, this is a collection of container images using Fedora's support for OCI/Docker containers as a transport and delivery mechanism for operating system content.

That's nerdspeak for the ultimate Linux client: the reliability of a Chromebook, but with the flexibility and power of a traditional Linux desktop. At long last, we've ascended.

Check out #Bazzite, #Bluefin, and #uBlueAurora!

New: bazzite-deck-nvidia Images

As of today, bazzite-deck-nvidia is now available as a beta thanks to improvements in the latest Nvidia drivers. While this is very clearly not a stable experience everyone should jump on, this should at least give our users something to play with and a tool to help report the remaining bugs to Nvidia. Some important caveats: Most bugs present here cannot be fixed by us, please do not report them to us if they’re already known issues. See our Discord and/or GitHub issue tracker. This will ...

Bluefin GTS is now available with Fedora 40! As the slower cadence custom image, you will now enjoy 6 months on the previous version of Fedora.

For stable channel Bluefin and Aurora users, you can expect Fedora 41 in the coming weeks as we wait for the Fedora CoreOS kernel to become available.

Happy uneventful release day! You love to see it. :)
