Buildstream is becoming a super power amongst Bluefin&#39;s kettle. GNOMEOS is also already solid, it&#39;s mostly fit and finish. It&#39;s coming together quickly over the past few days. Already dailyable on the metal, I have a trip coming up for a real stress test. Boot and shutdown improvements and all the systemd-boot goodies are night and day better, it&#39;s a compelling package. Really top notch work by @dylanmtaylor @jreilly112 @jumpyvi and others: #linux #gnome

@dylanmtaylor @jreilly112 @jumpyvi Also cool easter egg, the menu is your machine hostname, defaults to `Bluefin` but you can set it to what you want. All new custom menu extension is awesome, users can use a little gui to customize the menu however they want it's totally baller.

@jorge @dylanmtaylor @jreilly112 @jumpyvi I probably will switch to the new thing when it becomes GA. I just need my working laptop to work for my every day stuff. Will keep an eye on the development as you chugg along

@jorge @dylanmtaylor @jreilly112 @jumpyvi I haven't really grasped yet, what those new ways via buildstream mean, but I guess I don't have to. Looks fantastic anyways, now someone needs to convince @mullvadnet to finally build that flatpak, so some of us can stop layering or fiddle around otherwise to enjoy this fully.
