We chose the Kinoite name for the following reasons:
KDE based projects traditionally start with a 'K'
Kinoite is a blue mineral (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinoite[Wikipedia]), thus referring to both the 'silver' and 'blue' part of Silverblue and the blue color of the KDE logo.
"Kinoite" means "There is a tree" in Japanese (https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=kinoite&op=translate[Google Translate]), thus referring to the 'tree' in 'ostree'.
What is {variant-name}'s relationship with {alternative-name}, Fedora IoT and Fedora CoreOS?
{variant-name} uses the same core technology as {alternative-name}, Fedora IoT and Fedora CoreOS. However, {variant-name} is specifically focused on workstation and desktop use cases with the {variant-desktop}.
About using {variant-name}
How can I play more videos in Firefox, like YouTube?
Firefox is included in the OS image for now (see https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/288[issue#288] for progress on moving to Flatpak by default). Until that changes, getting it to play videos works the same way as it does for the regular {variant-classic}: find a package with the needed codecs, and install it. The one difference is that you use `rpm-ostree install` instead of `dnf install`. An alternative solution is to install https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.mozilla.firefox[Firefox from Flathub].
How do I create a VPN connection?
`/etc` is not part of the immutable OS image, so you can just copy files into `/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections` (or let NetworkManager store them there when you recreate your connections). Certificates in `/etc/pki` need to be handled similarly.
How can I install my preferred IDE on {variant-name}?
You can install most IDE directly in a toolbox where you can also install all the developments tools from the Fedora repositories. To be able to launch them directly from menus, you can copy the `.desktop` file for the IDE from the toolbox to your home directory in `~/.local/share/applications/`. You should then update the `Exec` line in the `.desktop` file to prepend `toolbox run` to start it from the toolbox. You can also use the IDEs packaged as Flatpaks from Flathub.
How can I see what packages were updated between two commits?
If you want to compare the booted deployment with the pending deployment (or rollback deployment), simply issue:
$ rpm-ostree db diff
You can also see the RPM changelog by adding the `-c` option like so: `rpm-ostree db diff -c`
If you want to see which packages were updated between two specific commits:
find out which two commits you want to compare by issuing:
$ ostree log <ref>
you can now compare the two commits by issuing:
$ rpm-ostree db diff <commit x> <commit y>
How can I check the version number of an installed package?
You can simply use:
$ rpm -q <package>
How can I check if an `rpm` software package is available in the repository?
At this point in time, there is no `rpm` package search function built into `rpm-ostree`. However, you can use `toolbox` with the following command:
$ toolbox run dnf search <package>
The assumption is that you have already created a toolbox matching the version of your {variant-name} installation.
How can I downgrade my system's kernel?
If, for whatever reason, you need to downgrade the kernel, you can do so by following these steps:
