Happy dinosaur-eating day in the US! I am thankful for the wonderful paleoartists who have made Bluefin come alive with their wonderful contributions.

Thank you @nataliajagielska.bsky.social and @dragonsofwales.bsky.social for making this dream come true!

The Legion Go with Bazzite is an excellent machine for gaming
I finally acquired an original Lenovo Legion Go and of course I had to put Linux on it and get rid of Windows, so I finally got to see the fuss over Bazzite.

One of the things I'm proudest of in bazzite.gg, getaurora.dev, and projectbluefin.io is we only build on the latest cloud native tech.

That means our contributors are always learning the skills that companies like @chainguard.dev are looking for!

Before we had our kid we used to take Oscar to the mall for dog photos with Santa.

One year Santa was totally blitzed, it was amazing!

When you turn on developer mode in projectbluefin.io and geraurora.dev you get an integrated docker experience, we've extended this to include the docker model plugin, have a great time!

In this interview with @michaeltunnell.bsky.social we talk about @bazzite.gg getaurora.dev and projectbluefin.io!

This was fun because it was Michael's first #KubeCon and #CloudNativeCon and we discuss how cloud native is solving problems for the linux desktop!

Homebrew's added support for flatpaks in Brewfiles. Now you can use `brew bundle` commands to manage your flatpaks. Great work by Ahmed Adan!

Another awesome piece of work by Andy!

We'll be shipping this in projectbluefin.io soon!
I’ve just completed this new wallpaper illustration for @castrojo.bsky.social

I am thankful for my coworkers at the CNCF, they put up with me.

Watching how they did this. One of the reasons they picked @bazzite.gg is with an image you can pick an image to test with and know it won't change throughout testing.

And we can keep an archive of all the images, making historical benchmarking much easier.
This was one hell of an undertaking. We still have a lot to learn with Linux benchmarking, but we finally have a foundation for it. This is our first-ever round of desktop Linux GPU gaming benchmarks -- we've previously only done this on handhelds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovOx...
