Thanks for Wayblue!

I was using BluefinDX for a while then I switched back to normal Silverblue, but the otherday I got the itch to want to try Hyprland but I still wanted to stay with an Atomic/Immutable distribution, then I went looking and came across Wayblue.

I’m now on the Hyprland Wayblue image, works great without me having to switch to another distribution. It also has ujust available so I’m assuming it’s part of the Bluefin project. So I just wanted to say thank you for the work on the images available there!

This is not affiliated with the Bluefin maintainers or Universal Blue, but is a project led by the same individual who maintains secureblue and uses BlueBuild, which expands on making custom Fedora OCI images.

You’d want to thank everyone over on the project’s Discord.

p.s. i also run wayblue on a low end chromebook since a full-blown wayland desktop does not run well on toasters, and i think it’s a great project.

I didn’t know that. Thanks! Will do that!

I’m quite happy with it and surprised how much I am enjoying Hyprland. So this will most likely be my new daily driver :sunglasses:

@nicknamenamenick I would have marked your answer as the solution but there is no option for it. So if a moderator comes a cross this topic, you can mark that reply as solution.

I have already thought of this project to not have the best branding.

You have Blufin, Aurora, Bazzite… those names have nothing in common. Also no prefix like “Fedora” has: Fedora Silverblue.

Also it would probably be to long to have: Universal Blue Blufin and probably confusing also what is base name “Universal” or “Universal Blue” and what is the spin name “Blue Blufin” or “Blufin”.

Now it is probably little bit late to do rebranding… The only way I see is to have like: Ublue Blufin, Ublue Aurora…

Additionally there is this dinozaurs thing, that makes things even more difficult to see.

Branding is important! And usually project starts without any though on branding, then it gets popular and it is too late…

The other day my friend asked me if he can bought a notebook with Blufin preinstalled. No, can’t and there looks like no intention from current project.

And additionally Blufin is not a distribution thing. On Fedora web site they named Blufin project “repackager”.
