I’m preparing for a secure installation of Bluefin. I’m a bit confused by the official documentation/downloads to page, and would appreciate some clarification. On the docs page the only ISOs’ with checksum links are for Old Backups of: (Intel/AMD) bluefin-stsble.iso & (Nvidia) bluefin-stable.iso. I downloaded loaded the Intel/AMD ISO without any problem, but the problem is with the checksum. No matter how I clicked on it, it led to a display page, and not a raw hash file. Can you provide me with a checksum, or provide me with a better way to go forward? When will the official site’s download and verification process work?
From the main site https://projectbluefin.io/ you can click the “Try out” button to jump to (or scroll down to) the “TRY BLUEFIN” section.
Once the architecture, graphics, and updates questions are answered, the blue “Download the ISO” Button appears on the right side of the screen, and immediately to the right of that are 2 small Icons, the first has a 
icon, which links to the appropriate Checksum file (the second icon has the Github ‘cat’ logo and links to the container repository).
Since the name in the Checksum file is different, you can simply cat the file to see the hash, and compare it to the output of
sha256sum /path/to/bluefin.iso (changing the path and filename as appropriate.

I had to burn a few neurons to figure that out myself.
I think the checksum link could be text, or a button like the download button.
Check=checksum, which I get, but also, check=okay, and GitHub mascot=maybe social media (reminds me of Reddit’s mascot), so a checkmark next to that could mean something social.
Maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s Maybelline.
