Just discovered these when I asked Mastodon what OS I should use for a PC I’m building with my kid. Looking forward to trying them out!

- You should look into the Universal Blue images
  
  I especially like Bluefin
  
  I'd second Auroa (bluefin but KDE) and Bazzite (gaming focus)
  
  How does installing apps work? I know you can use flatpak. But, what if it's a cli app that you want to install that isn't on flatpak?
  
  What's the difference between Bluefin and Silverblue?
  I was interested in the Ublue images but it sounded like Silverblue is kind of the "default vanilla favor" and the Ublue images stack more stuff on top or modify it for special use cases. So I'm now on Silverblue, and it's pretty fucking awesome as a "forget it's even there" general purpose laptop OS so far.
  
  Yes , bluefin gives me the best Linux experience I have had in two decades.
