Has anyone figured out how to run Home Manager on Fedora Silverblue yet? I've been unsuccessful so far and would appreciate some pointers.
I had that happen to me on #Silverblue a while back and it was a slight pain only because among the apps that were affected were Terminal and Software so no quick copy & paste from the browser for remediation.

Does anybody else have this issue or am I going mad right now?
Setup: #Fedora #Silverblue on #FrameworkLaptop, #HP #Printer "just works" via #Gnome3 printing dialogue.
BUT: whenever I print more than one copy, the printer spits out not ${NumberOfCopies} but instead 2^(${NumberOfCopies})
so if I want 2 copies it prints 4, if I want 3 copies it prints 8, and so on.
Reproducible with at least 2 different HP printer models so I'm guessing it's some bug in either hplip or in Gnome.

Upgraded (I mean, rebased) to #Fedora 43 #Silverblue, which has probably the most gorgeous wallpaper in quite a while.
The notification to donate to GNOME caught me a bit off guard, but it worked.

If I want to test out some Snap Store stuff but am on Fedora Silverblue… should I even attempt that, or just spin up an Ubuntu VM/install Ubuntu on another machine?
To be clear about my use case: I’m not looking to actually use Snap apps on alongside other apps on Silverblue, so nice integration is not important; I just want to check out how things are presented and progressing over in the world of the Snap store/App Center thing.

All the countless hours spent on the 
#Linux Desktop Migration Tool are finally paying off! My wife got a new laptop yesterday. I installed 
#Fedora#Silverblue on it, created a user account, connected it to the home network, and left the migration tool running overnight. She could start using the new laptop without any interruption in the morning, and the whole thing took like 15 minutes of my time.

Hey #linux users. Please boost.
I maintain (remotely) ~10 linux laptops for a client. I've used #ubuntu LTS for years because they don't need anything fancy, stability is more important that bang-up-to-dateness. But I've gone off Ubuntu because of #snaps and it increasingly pushing adverts/pro-services.
Anyone got any experience with remote admin-ing and maintaining linux laptops? Would prefer #gnome based.

I have a theory about 6-month Linux and BSD upgrades having their own kind of "stability" because there's not as far to go between releases https://zola.passthejoe.net/blog/six-month-stability/
I now have #Erlang in #OpenBSD and #Fedora#Silverblue. Just for fun. Not anticipating profit.
Been a year since I made #silverblue (specifically #bazzite) my daily driver. At this point, I'm Im sold on #immutable OSs as the future and the direction we need to move to on #Linux
