  • I would generally not recommend running official google apps at all. MicroG works quite well for the things you actually need. I would research on how to flash microG with adb and add the correct elevated privileges.

    Or if you need to flash gapps, use this file to only flash the needed apps like playstore and play services and nothing else.

    Then afaik you can still disable them on the main profile and only use them in work profile (shelter, island), which would be a big privacy advantage






  • Yes I am also a fan of atomic desktops for mass deployments of tailored systems

    I just dont like the main ublue images or Fedoras main ones. I used kinoite-main from ublue for 2 years or so, and added a bunch of changes as overlays. It was kinda bad but also kinda good. Things like no longterm kernel being available at all for example.

    NixOS is waay harder to use, also less secure for example from the perspective of a non-wheel user, like they have no polkit rules. You have snapshots, automatic updates etc though. And I just replaced my kernel with a longterm cachyos build which also works!

    Fedora atomic desktops are fantastic, I really like ostree (which they get rid of, well…) but as soon as you need to change something, you have problems.

    I have 3 machines and all have different configs so not even there could I use the same image really.
