From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ublue are based off of Kinoite. If you want something less "bloated", try that. You can even rebase from Bluefin to that, I believe.

Keep in mind there are two versions of Bluefin/Aurora. Regular, and "-dx" which is more developer focused with more developer tools.

Yeah I know what they're based on, I use silverblue on my laptop. I just personally really disliked bluefin when I tried it and I was wondering if that's what all of the ublue images are like

Bazzite is pretty barebones, you add stuff using the first-run utility.
