A very, very good walkthrough. Someone throw money at this man.

I thought they named Kinoite because of the Japanese word, since the translation would be "there is a tree", a reference to the tree in rpm-ostree, and because it's a KDE spin, so it obviously needs to have a K in it.

thank you Sir i learned so much from
this video 😃

This is absolutely amazing, thanks Ermanno for these very informative videos!!

Its good to see a new edition of fedora, i personally dont use kde but is really good..

Fedora 35 is slated for release on Nov 2. From what I understand Kinoite will also be released at the same time.
Also, what perfect timing!!! I was thinking of going either F35 KDE or trying out Kinoite on Nov 2 !!! Definitely trying out Kinoite now

cool video. This is good for devops, virtualization etc :)

Guys can anyone tell me if rpm are available in Discover store? Or they can only be installed via rpm-ostree command?

[lsatenstein]

Hi EF. I have private repositories (/Development, /share, /scratch1 ....
With Kinoite, is the procedure the same? Add the mount point in / and then
add the entries (UUID=....) to the etc/fstab. Is there actually a /etc/fstab.?

Thank you for the great presentation of Kionite. To me it sounds very similar to openSUSE's microOS :)

You have to radically change your expectations to an immutable system because everything is locked down. You can’t even theme it or change it to make it your own. That’s not what power users expect. They want to customise everything and make a vanilla os completely unique. The constraints of Fedora Kinoite means you have to work within it the way its set up and in a read-only system where you can’t mess around with the underlying parts of the system like you can do on Fedora Workstation. You can only do work on it and that limitation won’t make power users happy though ordinary folks likely won’t mind the fact this is a super stable system.

I mean, could we just install KDE on Fedora Silverblue instead of creating another spin?

[HarshYadav-yitv]

Walha! Linux has just gone fabulous 👌 I mean stability was the big issue and the fact that things were not structured well but Now Silver and Kiniote has took it far...

I tired Kinoite on a laptop with Intel UHD graphics with 4K monitor running at 1.5x scale, results is still not good… the only DE that I have personally tried that supports this setup well is Gnome

everything about fedora is the pinnacle of what sucks about linux. systemd is slow, bloated, and insecure, pipewire broke so many workflows and no one even asked for it (it was only created to serve red hat's desire to push flatpak and wayland on people), wayland sucks it's incomplete (no ability to turn off vsync despite being promised years ago) and no desktop fully works on it (not even gnome, which has that infamous cursor lag when you're heavily using i/o, if the session crashes it doesn't cleanly restart instead it just boots you back to the login screen and kills all your open applications, qt apps have visual glitches e.g. no shadows, etc, all bugs only on gnome's wayland session), the rpm package format sucks (there's a reason red hat are trying to replace it with flatpak but flatpak is hot garbage too), the dnf package manager sucks (it's slow as hell but then again it seems all rpm package managers are slow, opensuse's zypper is garbage too), and gnome might as well be owned by red hat since everything gnome just so happens to start requring all happen to be red hat projects like systemd, wayland, pipewire, and flatpak.
