I got a friend who finally wants to try to install Linux, so i immediately thought of Bluefin because it doesn’t need any tweaking to work properly, but my friend doesn’t want to give up his Adobe products and Office… so I was wondering if Winboat was working on the Ublue based distros because i am not sure whether he could handle an arch based distro on which i know Winboat would work.
Note the discussion taking place in the GitHub bluefin repo - Plans to add winboat to the image? · ublue-os/bluefin · Discussion #3377 · GitHub
Maybe not the friendliest option (it might take an hour or so to setup) but you can probably make a custom image with winboat preinstalled. GitHub - ublue-os/image-template: Build your own custom Universal Blue Image!
Here’s a short script I use to download bitwarden rpms I got from someone on the forum: you can probably just change the repo name and test it.
URL=$(curl -s ``https://api.github.com/repos/bitwarden/clients/releases`` | jq -r ‘first(. | .assets? | select(.browser_download_url | endswith(“.rpm”)) | .browser_download_url)’)
echo “Downloading Bitwarden from $URL”
curl -sL -o /tmp/rpms/bitwarden-latest.rpm “$URL”
dnf5 install -y /tmp/rpms/*
And then just
sudo rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/yourgithubusername/yourreponame:latest
If you want my custom image as an example: GitHub - fpfcmsr/oldroad
They do have appimage which afaik works well?
I use the AppImage on Aurora. No problems so far. Just works.
Mind that your friend will probably expect Windows performance, and unless you’re doing GPU passthrough that’s not what you’re going to get.
Great, thanks for the answer, he will get the performance he deserves, lol
