Universal Blue (Fedora Kinoite mobile) on the Microsoft Surface Go 22023-05-07T19:00:00+00:002023-05-07T19:00:00+00:00https://linmob.net/ublue-surface/<p>How OCI images simplify the setup of my Linux tablet.</p>
<span id="continue-reading"></span>
<p>If you read my post <a href="https://linmob.net/manjaro-plasma-on-the-surface-go2/">Manjaro Plasma on the Microsoft Surface Go 2</a>,
you will notice that quite some configuration is required to turn a desktop Linux distribution into something that's fun on mobile.
While none of it is rocket science, it's still work and might not be for the average user who just wants to get their device going with Linux.</p>
<p>So: Is there a way to simplify this?</p>
<h1 id="oci-defined-os">OCI defined OS</h1>
<p>Of course, one option would be to create a specific distribution/Fedora Spin/Ubuntu flavor..., but that's not too easy either.
Moreover, it just doesn't scale well. After all, there are so many devices out there and a lot of them require a slightly different setup.</p>
<p>Luckily, there's immutable operating systems and <a href="https://opencontainers.org/">OCI images</a>: <a href="https://ublue.it/">Universal Blue</a> has created a toolbox which allows to
extend <a href="https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/">Fedora Silverblue</a> (or <a href="https://kinoite.fedoraproject.org/">Kinoite</a> etc.) through a
<code>Containerfile</code>. This is then built in GitHub actions and uploaded to the <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-container-registry">GitHub Container registry</a> for the world to use.</p>
<p>You can find my take on Fedora 38 Kinoite with <a href="https://plasma-mobile.org/">Plasma Mobile</a> on <a href="https://github.com/plata/ublue-surface">https://github.com/plata/ublue-surface</a>.</p>

I tried this card when it was first discussed in the Librem 5 Matrix room, and even without proper software support and without me connecting both antennas, it was better in many ways - while I can't find my Sparklan card right now, I still am sure that this is a good move by Purism.</em>
