A VPN is definitely an example of software you should use rpm-ostree to install.

To add some detail, anything you install in a distrobox (or other sandbox/container) can’t add kernel modules, which I think is the error you’re getting.

It’s not quite that simple.

Each package can choose one from a handful of runtimes to use, each of which include common dependencies (like gnome or qt libraries), and if multiple flatpaks use the same runtime, that runtime is only downloaded once.

It is less space efficient than your typical package manager, but brings other benefits like sandboxing.

I’m not sure what the chances actually are, but that much rewriting and shuffling data, if it doesn’t immediately result in data loss it is going to put a lot of wear on your drives. If your largest drive is 8 TB, I’d look for another 8+ TB drive so that you can copy the data and then reformat. Even a slow external drive is likely to be faster than what you’re doing.

There’s plenty of rational reason to hate this video

I would say steam deck, both in actual installs and in raising awareness, but that wasn’t until 2022

Switched from the kde test repo over to baseline Tumbleweed today. It was actually smoother than I’d expected

I’ve been running kinoite on my laptop for a short while now, and I wanted to address a few miscellaneous things.

First: I recommend trying the out of the box experience for a while before going far customizing it. For example, someone mentioned your filesystem layout with subvolumes: that’s the default in kinoite: home, var, and root are in subvolumes.

Second: Wayland either is or is about to be the default in fedora (I’m running the beta for the next version, and it’s Wayland by default). Try it and see if you have issues before trying to switch to x11.

Flatpak is your first stop for installing software on kinoite, but the fedora repo that’s configured by default is missing a lot. If <your favorite search engine> shows software available that you don’t see in discover/flatpak, you need to add the flathub repo, which is easy to do, but not obvious (to me) that it wasn’t the default.

Finally, Nvidia experience might not be good ootb. You might need to take extra steps to get the proprietary Nvidia driver.

Good luck with your endeavor!

Edit: Firefox

I don’t understand why the default install of Firefox isn’t the flatpak version. Switch to the flatpak version and you won’t have to worry about codecs.

Lol, I just noticed that this thread is 3 weeks old… How is your setup working out?

sudo chown <user> -R /path

sudo chgrp <group> -R /path

I’m running kde6 on fedora rawhide kinoite, it’s pretty stable.

Minor point of clarification though, kinoite isn’t immutable ootb, it’s atomic (which is to say it either fully updates or doesn’t. Immutable is an experimental setting you can enable though)

You’re using flatpak, right? Flatpak uses “portals” to provide access to other parts of your system. When you open files in flatpak apps, you’ll see this folder used for those.

These shouldn’t actually take up any meaningful space, and I wouldn’t delete anything unless you’re experiencing an issue.
