bluefin VS main

Even if the particular script is not used, the just file there is actually much worse.

Literally everything is running scripts directly from the internet, without any version pinning or check summing.

There is no way to run the same build twice and have any confidence that the result was the same.

Universal Blue is very specifically a "batteries included" Fedora-based distribution, and one of their image also very specifically caters to Ubuntu migrants (bluefin).

Best place to start is to get rid of all the layered packages (RPMFusion) on top of the immutable image then swap to the ublue-Nvidia images that have all the codecs and Nvidia drivers built into the image itself.

If you're using Nvidia I'd recommend using Fedora Kinoite with the ublue-Nvidia image that comes with the Nvidia drivers pre-built in. That eliminates a big chunk of issues with their drivers which is just building the damn things. AMD and Intel drivers are built into the kernel and require zero effort.

What you are looking for is UBlue, https://github.com/ublue-os/main.

It's a variant of Silverblue with Nvidia drivers built in.

If you're using Nvidia, then install using the ublue Nvidia image which has the drivers built in, cause they can be a prick to manage otherwise.

What these sort of introductions to immutable always fail to consider is the other side of the coin, image-based. I'm working on https://universal-blue.org/ along with many people much more skilled than me. We build OCI container images on top of vanilla Fedora Silverblue & many other editions with different desktops. Those images can then be booted to (or rather rebased to) using rpm-ostree. This is a more robust way of extending the system than layering, and the same changes can be easily benefited or inherited from by anyone. You can even make your own image really easily!

I think that VanillaOS and SUSE are working on similar things, but we're not an OS project, just a downstream from Fedora. Fedora's full support is underway but with what's already working perfectly our methods are already IME some of the most robust and easy ways of delivering Nvidia drivers for example.
