It's a happy day for me; I'm using Bluefin-dx-Nvidia on my workstation!

I’ve been wanting to run, and trying Bluefin for quite some time.

I want that appliance experience, and no worries of my system not booting after an update, as has happened on un-named Arch-based distro a couple of times. I had taken to booting from a USB and using ddrescue to do an image of the root drive before updating. Not ideal.

I installed Bluefin-dx-nvidia-stable on an external USB on my workstation yesterday, and it ran so well, I decided to 86 my Arch-based install and give Bluefin a real test.
I’m now happily using VSCode, Tensorflow, CUDA, and my Nvidia RTX A4500 with my Intel Arc A380 driving my three displays. My 4x16TB ZFS pool imported with no problem. Backups using Vorta.

Just wanted to share!

Thanks to all the people who make this possible!
