My baby, the #openSUSE #microosdesktop is looking to rename itself, primarily to stop confusion as it’s getting very popular and is very different from the regular #microos server.

It’s making handling debugging and community support way more complicated than it needs to be :)

As a straw poll, which of the options do you prefer for its new name?

#linux #immutable #ImmutableOS #desktop #desktoplinux #suse

Fellow nerds, if I was building a window manager #swaywm fork of the #microosdesktop what would you want to see out of a box?

A configured status bar? What info?
Network mgmt with nmtui or cli?
What installed by default?

In short, where’d you like the line between “it works” and “get those config files open and have fun”?

(Note: before you ask - the sway config files will be in /etc and /home as usual so, like regular #microos #linux they’ll be read-write at runtime for easy configuration)

5 years ago at #fosdem I told everyone #flatpak #snaps and #appimages were all terrible

Now I build @opensuse #microosdesktop which uses flatpaks from #flathub as it’s main application source

How does this make sense?

Find out at my talk at FOSDEM this year, I’ll be explaining all about what’s great (and what is still terrible) about these modern application package ecosystems

@mrls How is the #opensuse #microosdesktop experience treating you so far? And maybe i should also ask specifically how the transfer to #immutable feels so far? 🙂

If I was going to hop on the immutable desktop train which option should I take? #FedoraSilverblue #microosdesktop

What do you think about #microos #microosdesktop? This looks like Google #Crostini for #ChromeOS, and they're doing well with it. If they can do it, so can #opensuse.
