  • Yep, I’m with you. Project Bluefin is exactly what I want from an OS. My previous Linux experiences had all been awful UX, having to diagnose obscure issues and copy pasting decipherable terminal commands. Until Bluefin, nothing ever worked straight out of the box.

    Bluefin’s main issue right now is a lack of good documentation. Like you, I’ve tried to get devcontainers working and they just don’t.


  • As others have said, not with Linux Mint.

    However if you were running an atomic distro such as Aurora, Bazzite, Project Bluefin, or Fedora Silverblue you can “rebase” from one to another.

    With an atomic distro all the system files are immutable, you can read them but only the OS can change them. As there’s a clear distinction from user files (anything in /var or /home) the OS can simply replace all the system components with a new distro and re-mount your files.


  • “Mirror, signal, manoeuvre” is what we’re taught in the UK. So according to our highway code you’re acting correctly,but obvs that may be different elsewhere.

    Basically you only signal after you’ve confirmed there is space and that it is safe to do so, therefore the time between indicating and actually acting is minimal.

    The main problem you see is some people drive aggressively and use signalling as a demand that others make space for them, move out of their way etc. That’s not how it’s meant to work.








  • Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947, more commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov.

    It’s the world’s most popular assault rifle, a weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple nine pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood, it doesn’t break, jam, or overheat. It will shoot whether it’s covered in mud or filled with sand.

    It’s so easy even a child can use it, and they do.

    The Soviets put the gun on a coin, Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people’s greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure; no one was lining up to buy their cars.

    1. I actively chose software written in Rust over other software, even if it’s not better, and I argue that it is.

    Rust has quite a high barrier for entry which is likely to deter inexperienced developers. I’d say that’s enough justification to favour software written in Rust.

    Python on the other hand is far too easy to get started with, thus the ecosystem is plagued with terrible software. I avoid it like the plague. Yes, there some decent projects written in Python but they are rare things
