So where is Kalpa right now?

Kalpa remains in a stable, Alpha state, as it has for the past few months.

Things are being worked on, but the project will be in a bit of a holding pattern for at least the short term, as our counterparts on openSUSE #Aeon develop some of *their* new build processes and installation tools/methods. Aeon currently has a larger pool of regular contributors, but we work from the same #microOS base, sometimes that does mean that #Kalpa is going to move a bit slower

@iaintshootinmis since you ask what's people's daily driver I picked #Fedora. But I also use #openSUSE #AeonDesktop (formerly #MicroOS desktop), #Debian and #Ubuntu regularly

my reason for experimenting this feature or wanting this feature to work seamlessly is because of my plans towards using an immutable desktop such as #opensuse #aeon (former #microos gnome desktop) since containers are the *thing* there

@passthejoe yeah, fair. My build machine runs #openSUSE Aeon (née #microOS #desktop) since I sometimes want to use it interactively as a gaming machine, and.. it's been reasonable to update (I don't update it *that* often).

I have not tried #EndlessOS, but that's precisely an immutable distro based on a stable base - it's more end user oriented, but pretty sure you can install whatever you want on top, especially Distrobox. Worth a spin?

Taking a break from my freelance web work to look into OpenSUSE MicroOS. If I'm reading this correctly, its first-boot config system, Combustion, is pretty damn powerful. With the right set of steps, it could make MicroOS a good option for businesses.

#openSuse #MicroOS #combustion #linux

For the minimalist platforms (container/Flatpak host systems like #MicroOS or Fedora #Silverblue and #sway ) I have decided to write a Bash-only pinentry using rofi (I use the #Wayland version from https://github.com/lbonn/rofi) for the GUI part.

Its very early alpha version (more like a proof of concept) is on https://git.sr.ht/~mcepl/pinentry-rofi and I would be very happy if anybody pointed to me problems they have with it and/or even if they suggested some improvements.

When #openSUSE #MicroOS & #distrobox teamed up, even containers couldn't contain their excitement 🤪. Find out what all the excitement is about at get.opensuse.org

@occirol @Linux_Is_Best #opensuse #microos is perfectly capable of hosting a website. As is #leap #micro ...

Ich probiere gerade #microos #aeon aus: Ein rollierendes immutable Linux-System mit BTRFS-Snapshots, grafischen Applikationen als Flatpak von Flathub und Distrobox für Container:

Sehr interessantes Konzept und konzeptionell sicherlich die Zukunft von Linux-Distributionen. Schön fände ich es noch, wenn man die Basis reverten kann im Falle von eigenen Anpassungen.

I can't decide between #nixos or #opensuse #microOS for my Intel NUC server. I only host containers running #podman really , like #HomeAssistant and #Nextcloud . I'm still learning about both OS's really and I know both come with a learning curve, one steeper than the other. But I really can't decide.

Any advice ......?

Considering checking out an #immutable #Linux distro that uses #distrobox, like #openSUSE #MicroOS or #VanillaOS, because I like the extra security and separation and atomic updates and so on they offer, it's a lot like the stuff I like about #GrapheneOS, but I'm not sure if they're actually any more secure, since new root OS components can still be installed, it just requires a reboot. Does anyone know?

@NotMtth either vanilla #ArchLinux or #OpenSUSE #microos with Arch running in #distrobox. Not sure if that's helpful though

@jade #MicroOS ?

Día de aprendizaje. Usando la herramienta #Distrobox en #OpenSuse #MicroOS #Aeon

Crea contenedores y permite usar apps y demás repos de otras distros en la que usas habitualmente. Ahí veis 'Pamac Manager' nutrido de los repositorios de #Archlinux

#GNU #Linux

Being a #Fedora #Silverblue (actually #ublue but same ...) user these days is ... Conflicting. The distro itself is great. The people at #redhat I'm sure are great at their jobs and decent human beings, but the CentOS Stream -> lockdown of RHEL sources -> Fedora telemetry timeline is just, at best, a terrible look all things considered. Had #suse #MicroOS Aeon effectively not been a one (apparently not always very kind too?) man show I'd probably have jumped ship already.

@vwbusguy @dschier Small additions: #MicroOS the non-Desktop is still existing and maintained.

Kubic is deprecated, but had nothing to do with Rancher. It just was not feasible to support the kubicctl way of creating/maintaining clusters anymore AFAIK.

#MicroOS: transactional #Tumbleweed with full list of packages.
SLE #Micro transactional based on SLE with a very limited number of packages.
Leap #Micro based on SLE Micro, same limited amount of packages.

@vwbusguy @alecui #MicroOS is nice because you can install it directly, and you get lots of nice details. So not only the partition setup and transactional updates. It is a separate product with patterns and package selections and things like that.

@sfalken @occirol actually it would have been helpful to not have SLE and Leap use just Micro. But too late.

But even now with the renaming, #MicroOS is hard to name correctly. "You know, the one based on Tumbleweed. Not, not the desktop..."

@alecui @vwbusguy #opensuse #microos is exactly that and works perfectly fine...

@occirol @sfalken Leap #Micro, not #MicroOS. Based on #Suse #Sle #Micro. And yes, the naming is confusing...
