Guardians, today Bluefin switched its base from Fedora 41 to Fedora 42. The gathering of raptors is over, Bluefin GTS remains with F41 while Bluefin stretches her legs with the latest Fedora goodies. KubeCon EU 2025 Project Report As a bootc derived project we tend to align with the cadence of the …

[image] mheuvel-dev: My apologies if the word “notification” triggers a wrong association. No need to apologize – it’s one of our hidden features! Feels like every app on every platform wants to notify me about everything. The notification manager on my phone is a hot mess. The desktop is li…

Doesn’t the update happen via the ujust update? That just runs rpm-ostree upgrade. A needed reboot can be detected via rpm-ostree status --json | jq -e '.deployments[0].booted == false'. If that is true then the Gnome notification can be set. notify-send "Updates Pending" "There is a BlueFin upd…

Hibernation has never been about speed for me. Regardless of how long it takes. I just use a desktop as my phone. I never reboot my phone unless it says it’s time to do so. Hibernation is all about just continuing where you left of. Or perhaps you were finished but just don’t close your browser. O…

That would be fantastic. And totally intuitive. Although I would end with telling the user to reboot. Not asking them to run command line.

[image] zilexa: Also, not having a notification that its healthy for the system to do a reboot next time I’m finished with whatever I’m doing is a BAD THING. Well this is how it is and will be. The thing is these should be invisible to the user, just like in a chromebook kind of. It doesn’t r…

Without informing me at all, a year could go by, or two, without rebooting. I wouldn’t consider that safe. Since I don’t know, as a user of Bluefin I expect the updates are happening somehow. [image] inffy: But using hibernation is another thing and thats the users decision, but at the same tim…

[image] zilexa: Bluefin is proud to be suited for laptops. That’s a complete opposite approach versus Fedora.. so you can’t really use the same excuse that Fedora uses, can you? What excuse? There is no official support on hibernation on fedora and as our images are based on that it swims dow…

Missing hibernation is my only serious complaint against Bluefin. Having to turn my system off in order to conserve battery power is a royal pain.

dumb newbie question, but, how does the upgrade from 41 to 42 happen? From admin guide it seems a simple power cycle is all that’s needed, but according to ‘About my system’ from top left cog icon I’m still on “Bluefin (Version: 41.20250504.2 / FROM Fedora Silverblue 41)” and I’ve restarted servera…

It will happen automatically in the background if your machine is on and connected to Internet during the update trigger time. Or you can manually just run ujust update it will also give you more info if there is something wrong.
