Guys, I’m happy you enjoy ublue.
Kindly read the following and consider:
Congrats and thank you for all the work that has been put into this project! The passion really shows.
I grew up personally and professionally in the Wintel world. Every couple years I’d make an earnest attempt to give Windows the boot, but I always came crawling back after inadvertently destroying whatever distro I’d loaded on to my primary rig. Between the Universal Blue project and Valve’s efforts with Proton, I think this is finally the year of Linux for me.
Had to go with that McLaren orange bezel on my FW13 too ![]()
Bluefin on the Framework (best integration with the FW13 of any OS including Windows)
Bazzite on the desktop
A little late to the party and in the middle of setting up a workspace, but wanted to share a screenshot of what I have set up on my Thinkpad (viewing through an external monitor):
-
Background: the green swamp wallpaper
-
Gnome Extensions: Animated Dash2Dock and Forge
-
Left: LibreFox with Tabliss extension using the Roaring Chicken image from Bluefin.io and Quicklinks/Time widgets
-
Upper Right: Ptyxis with neofetch
-
Lower Right: Obsidian markdown application with Bluefin wallpaper (through the Beautitab plugin) and Adwaita-GTK Theme
my appreciation for all the hard work on universal blue by everyone, really happy with this experience
– Stephen

This looks so good, love it!
I am late to the party as i have been on vacation but happy birthday ublue!
i will be boring and use my setup picture from a former bazzite buzz ![]()
from top left to right
Monitors:
- bazzite-nvidia test vm (gpu is passed through from the host for testing and the image is streamed to the host using moonlight
- bazzite-deck tailored for my threadripper system (my custom deckstation image)
- bazzite-deck running on my HTPC and streamed to my vertical monitor using moonlight for the picture (because it has a polaris card it was stuck on fedora 39 at the time of the picture)
Devices:
- My travel laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad x250) running bazzite desktop
- Lenovo Legion GO running bazzite-deck
- SteamDeck running SteamOS for scale
Controllers (top to bottom, left to right):
- 8bitdo Ultimate BT
- Steam Controller (brand new)
- Custom built DualSense5 (showpiece mostly) with back paddles
- Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro
- Xbox One S
- PowerA MOGA (dont buy this thing, it feels cheap, although has an ok dpad but has the cheapest feeling triggers you can find, how they managed that idk)
- Steam Controller with “joystick adapter”, heavily used with and without adapter
- Corsair Scimitar RGB (for some reason it shows up in linux as a controller so i am including it here!)
Penguins:
- The little one is hand made and was sent to me 2 years ago as a secret santa gift from Germany, it received a sunglasses dlc last year, i was not told the secret santa gift came with a season pass

- The big one is from Netherland and was also sent to me as a secret santa gift 3 years ago, it is wearing my goto sunglasses which i have used for the past 18 years.
Fantastic post very informative…!
Wow, 3 years already?!
Would post a pic of my desk, but tbh it’s a downright mess and totally not photogenic at all lol
Keep up the amazing work!
