The benefits for being nomad

So as i have been nomad, freelancer and entrepreneur for 6 years now there is some nuce benefits on it, but i can say it is not for everyone…

  • work anywhere and when you want
  • no stress if you make it that way
  • see the world
  • enjoy the life

Example now my work location for 6 days

Some downsides
-you need to learn so much more than expecting
-front-end, back-end, customer care, promoting, billing, accounting just for example
-not always like paradise
-deadlines can overwhelm you
-time managment will give you preassure

I would think that if one has more + than - & is fine with it , then it s ok to be a nomad @phatle

I would think that when I was driving big trucks going into Canada & the US it was a little bit the same at times when I was on the road for 4 to 6 weeks at a time.

Even it has more - i still like it it is still side hustle/job for me and i love the learning stuff…

Someday i will move away from entrepreneur stuff and focus fully on no mad life, but it is not time yet

Maybe in some years company will run without us

Yep, the main thing is that the -s don t outweight issues-wise compared to the +s

i think i am traitor… Switched my main to Fedora Workstation it just works so good now with DaVinci Resolve studio. Has SeLinux by default with BTRFS it just does all what i need on my workflow…

Immutables is back on machines after NativeMessaging on flatpaks have been pushed to get isolated apps to talk each other keeping immutable system clean

lol, I wouldn t feel that way @phatle

If it does what you want/need out fo the box, I would be ok with that.

Edit: Bet that the team s able to make one, but I wonder if their s some demands for those Distros .

I think there s a kernel version for a workstation but not a version per see.

Also, it would ve be to be maintained afterward.

i see imnutabe as huge advantage in future especially for corporate and security stuff really hardened, immutable, isolated, cobtainerazed, selinux, btrfs, self healing, automated updates, image based

basically it is almost there already only issue is for apps cant talk together and need to do tticks and hacks and i am moving straight back when the nativemessaging is sorted out

Oh, I m not much into Immutable distros for now, but it might change one day @phatle !

Yeah i have been some years using daily, testing, QA contributing etc, but they are not there yet as i see on my needs and current workflow so thats why on workstation edition everything works as i need

I personally really like the immutable stuff, oh well its not really immutable per sense with fedora etc, its more of Atomic hence they changed the names.

also personally I wouldn’t run Kinoite or Silverblue as they are so plain. I prefer the Universal Blue project images (Bluefin for gnome, aurora for KDE - or Bazzite for gaming). They do lot of the stuff already in the “background” and provide you a well made OCI image.

universal blue is nice project been tested it multiple times gnome and kde, silverblue and kinote is really nice feels more polished and ready to use… openSUSE aeon is nice concept, but even it is on RC4 now it just keeps braking especially TPM crypt unlock and it keeps wiping partitions if adding rpm packages or repos had this so many times and only way to get it working after restart loop is freah install

on universal blue i guess i need to check again there offering, but i just need that native messaging for flatpaks so then i qctually need just layer VPN and nvidia and then rest are defaults

oh and openSUSE kalpa sewms like abandon havent got too much progress and user base seems in under 200 only seen kde plasma 6 updates on it

There is no need to layer nvidia, as there are default images for nvidia drivers included.

VPN is currently harder but they are waiting for the systemd-ext stuff to actually land so they don’t need to layer stuff and can just add them on top of the image but that will take more time before its ready

oh that sounds like it is soon time to test ublue images and see hown it works

Would just recommend taking look at this Administrator's Guide

Especially if you are going to go with Bluefin as the default image that it suggests from the site is the gts image which is basically Fedora 39 based. If you need a current image you can use the -stable or -latest image (just copy the link from the download button and change the -gts part of the url to stable or latest). Latest uses the fsync kernel that has some of the cachyos kernel stuff also implemented. -stable branch is going to move to fsync kernel too soon(ish).

Aurora (KDE version) only provides stable and latest.

seems like you have more experienve on ublue stuff so good to know i have played only openSUSE and fedora defaults gonna go and learn and see how those work
