I’ve just finished installing Silverblue on the laptop but will give Bluefin a shot. Thanks for the tip!
I’m looking at putting Fedora Silverblue on my laptop (it’s shared between myself and my wife) after an update went bad on EndeavourOS — context
From what I’ve seen it looks rock solid.
Yes and no. Initially it was unlocked because I mounted and unlocked it via Dolphin. The second time round I was able to unlock and mount it with udsiksctl
I was able to get the output via Emergency Mode as the root user.

I've added it to the original post as well.

Would I be able to append the UUID?

I switched to Linux in October of last year and found “The Linux Experiment” to be really helpful in keeping up-to-date with things happening in the community without feeling overwhelmed
So…I’ve just updated my laptop with EOS and now my /efi partition won’t mount. Things definitely can break…unfortunately
Curiosity got the better of me, so I searched what it means. I did come across another interesting phrase....
Any problems I've had have been my own doing or a weird Nvidia driver issue. Having said that though, I've had very very few issues, it has been rock solid!
I've got a couple of packages from the AUR but I don't recall ever having any issues with any of them.
The only real "issue" I've had has been related to the Linux Kernel on my main machine (Ryzen 5 3600 & Nvidia GTX1660 TI). For some reason, only the LTS and mainline kernel work, if I try any other kernel I get an error (something to do with Nvidia and my GPU).
I used Pop!_OS when transitioning from Windows 11 to Linux and ran it for about 3/4 months before deciding to try EndeavourOS. I had absolutely no issues with Pop and it really made the transition super easy.
I'm super excited to try out their new (cosmic) DE! I will probably install Pop on my 2nd SSD to test and play around with it.
Your story is almost a carbon copy of mine. Really enjoyed using Pop.
Made my day. Thank you.
Whenever I visit a dam, I always find them incredible!
Works great for me. I’m on X11 for now as an application for work refuses to work with Wayland - support page and I haven’t tried figuring out how to get it to use Xwayland.
Now that I think about it, I had one issue with screen tearing but that was more a driver issue with Nvidia.
This. I’ve not had any issues across my laptop or desktop.
Thank you for such a detailed breakdown! I'll give all of this a go over the weekend.
Use find and grep to find all files with a certain extension (this will involve the wildcard character
*
I definitely need to practice using find and grep. When I do need to use them I almost always need to look up the command
It all started with a bad update that led to a kernel mismatch. I then attempted to fix the issue and made it worse…it was a little too much for my skill level (I was reading forum posts with similar issues when trying to fix it.)
