Alright, When it rains it pours, out of the ashes of failure comes some new updates. First off, this page is now up to date: Downloads | Bluefin Ok so here’s the deal. M2 was able to spike on both titanoboa and anaconda, which means: All of our ISOs are now live CDs, this is nice! Bluefin LTS …

I tried to install using readymade-bluefin-gdx-x86_64.iso. When I started the install process it was fiddly to select the correct destination drive. I ended up using the TAB key which caused mouse events to be recognized. I selected the /dev/sda entry in the list and started the install. It failed…

Downloaded from projectbluefin.io , and it’s working great on Gnome Boxes over here! What a friendly way to install, compared to Silverblue and the current Bluefin installs. [Screenshot From 2025-05-19 08-23-28] [Screenshot From 2025-05-19 00-58-08] [Screenshot From 2025-05-19 00-59-36] [Screen…

I tried the GDX anaconda iso. Similar set of issues (but not the mount issue - reclaim worked as expected). I tried the new ui in bluefin-nvidia-open-stable.iso. Wow. Very nice. I wasn’t bothered by the title, But, “Bluefin 42 Installation” would be sufficient assuming the additional information i…

I did some tests on Gnome Boxes: Anaconda: simple to use; good: keyboard selection is simple to select Readymade: even simpler to use; no keyboard selection (before reboot); I see nothing new here from last time I did a test like two weeks ago Titanoboa: c’mon @j0rge this is granpa like installer …

I like this. We have zenity on the liveiso so the post script that does the Mok enrollment can also pop an a zenity window (similar to what you get on the start) We can modify the first run options by hiding some of those cards. We are already hiding the enable third-party repos card.

I really like the webui installer! To sing my old song, it would make life easier for people with more than one of the same model drive if readymade and the webui installers would display the serial numbers. [image]

For me the web ui did show the device (sda in my case) so I could cross check it with lsblk in the shell. But agreed the mfr, model and size would eliminate a trip to the shell.

Not sure where to say it, but I really like that there is a community button on the live isos. I also like that there is a system update icon.

I also like it that you can continue the live experience during installation. While running the installer (I just tried the LTS one), you can click the community- or documentation button and continue browsing. What a relief compared to those static bill-board installers :star_struck:

I tested https://download.projectbluefin.io/bluefin-gdx-lts-x86_64.iso on my Acer laptop. For some reason, the USB drive made with Fedora Media Writer didn’t boot, but Balena Etcher made one that did boot. It came up fine. I didn’t try an install because it doesn’t have NVIDIA drivers and I didn’t …
