![]() "But you're still larger than the traditional OS!" Workstation 36 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on I was really impressed with how much shit you can ship in an OS and stay under 10GB! Here's the df for both, default partition layout on a 40GB virtual disk: Silverblue 36 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on Originally I had vscode, Element, and Slack on this list as I was attempting to recreate all the apps I use on the regular but they weren't available in RPMFusion afaict and I didn't want to go messing with more repos, ten apps isn't a bad place to start and we can always add more later to see where we stand.įirst of all, if you're unaware the filesystem is the same on both, btrfs with zstd compression (level 1) enabled by default. On Silverblue I did this by enabling Flathub, and on Workstation I enabled RPMFusion. Note that LibreOffice came preinstalled with Workstation (but not Silverblue). I wanted to pick enough variety to be a reasonable comparison, but I also don't have all day to install the universe.īoth already come with Firefox so I decided to install the following applications: LibreOffice, OBS, Steam, Blender, Thunderbird, Krita, Kdenlive, VLC, GIMP, and Discord. However no one uses just what comes out of the box and I want to compare what a real desktop installation looks like, so I decided to pick some applications that users want to install. I am measuring the root filesystem, so ignoring /boot, we're mostly interested in how much space the operating system partition takes upĪha! OMG I knew it! Things aren't looking good for Team Anti-Hysteris. Let's start off with the easy one, installation on first boot.įresh install, followed by an rpm-ostree update on Fedora Silverblue, and then a dnf update on the Workstation 36. And in the other corner we'll put Fedora Silverblue 36. Today I'll compare two desktops, one will be Fedora Workstation 36, a traditional desktop distribution. That's a direct quote from a reddit post on the topic from today. I also like the 4 different cursor styles when using Ctrl/Shift + Alt in Krita.One of the criticisms people have with containerizing their desktop apps is the "insane amount of space for their environment" that people think it requires. But just for pressing less keys (more friendly to touchpad) GIMP defaults is also a great choice. I agree, the GIMP way is not as nice/straightforward for a beginner, but the option (to “switch to team GIMP/Krita”) definitely should exist. I think after discovering this in Krita the GIMP version is more confusing, but if I’ve used it in GIMP first/before then probably I would’ve been disappointed with Krita about this too (same as pan mode).Ĭtrl+Click to pan is a solid behavior for a default And it doesn’t have fixed/rough zoom (which probably not very useful anyway). Wait a second, I just tried the same thing in GIMP: it also has rotation and zoom, but it uses Ctrl/Shift first and then space bar with no LMB. I didn’t think about precision as I only use pan for which precision isn’t really necessary, unlike zoom and rotation. That’s really cool! But for someone who only really uses pan (and zoom with 2 finger swipes) this is not so cool. ![]() Wow, I didn’t know about additional Space + Ctrl/Shift (+ Alt) functionality.
