From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Honestly, I just followed the steps here: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#OSTree_.28Silverblue.2FKinoite.2Fetc.29
I was diligent about following the configuration guide first: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
I think the key is restarting at every step it asks you to, and maybe after anything that seems major or is a prerequisite for another set of program installs. I mean, I got a black screen the first time, but after a hard reset, it just worked.
No doubt UBlue is probably a lot easier. I did not realize I could have just downloaded the ISO instead of trying to rebase, but I like what I am running.
Anyways, doing it the hard way is helping me learn the intricacies of an immutable system, so I am having fun.
Ah, I got it now thanks for the explanation!
Indeed, in your case acquiring uBlue through its ISO was probably the best option; but I'm glad to hear that it worked out in the end!
Well said!
Just in case; consider the following:
sudo ostree admin pin 0command. After which it remains accessible regardless unless you unpin it later on. This should allow you a working deployment if all else fails and thus a safe haven to rely on.Oh nice! I will do that. I see this as save scumming for real life!
Speaking of, save scumming is a habit I need to rid myself of. I need to allow myself to fail in Baldur's Gate and other games.
Hehe, great analogy :P !
