And something like this can be used as the docker server to hold the repository
I’m surprised no one mentioned this if you are already using kde
Sleep mode seems to be working well for me on fedora atomic with kde (aurora).
Deep sleep works well and can stay sleeping for days.
Normally sleep rules are working well. The do not sleep toggle in the power menu also works to prevent it from sleeping.
Only thing that doesn’t work is flatpak apps can’t prevent the system from sleeping, so watching a video, using Handbrake to encode etc will all just allow it to sleep if there is no physical input.
I have a 2018 dell xps
If I understand it correctly, layering an application is no more dangerous than a regular install on a non atomic os. In other words, every piece of software you have installed on normal fedora desktop is not containerized, if it’s software you were going to install anyways, layering it is the same as before (albeit significantly slower than install and update).
But that means that you get great benefits because 99% of your software packages are properly containerized
Kde has a disable sleep button in the power/battery icon menu which I use as a work around, still annoying and yet another quality of life issue that Just Works ™ on other platforms
Has been working for me. The issues I’ve encountered so far are all minor flatpak issues (Firefox not allowed to sleep-lock so the laptop screen shuts off watching videos etc)
I have an atomic variant of fedora 40 (Aurora) and it just works on an Intel CPU with integrated graphics. I have a USB c dongle with HDMI out and it just works when I plug it in.
I also tried it on my steam deck dock the other day and it worked without issue.
Fresh RSS if you want a self hosted option
And good resources on how to learn to use Toolbox properly?
Does anyone know if Timeshift has any use with fedora atomic distros?
Hybrid sleep is the way to go but my dell xps wakes from s3 in less than 5s
100% this. Sleep on Linux is perfect in my older XPS (after I manually enable it). Lots of reports of it not working on newer laptops.
While I agree it doesn’t have to be a walled garden, you do have to admit that apple wouldn’t ship a laptop that couldn’t sleep properly. They are so much better at real world design than other manufacturers who were happy to abandon s3 in favour of making laptops into phones as if anyone actually wanted that.
Aurora dev edition is the bazzite equivalent for devs. Containers built right into the terminal (ptyxis).
This. S0idle was pushed by Microsoft and Intel and amd followed. Now all new non apple CPUs are an embarrassment when it comes to sleep ability which essentially any normal person would expect without thinking about it so when they buy a brand new laptop and it ends up with a dead batter every morning people immediately just buy a Mac and get a much better experience.
Just completely shooting themselves in the foot. Same story with shitty laptop screens for nearly 5 years while Macs had retina displays.
See my post here
I have an older XPS where where the CPU still supports deep sleep (S3).
Most distros have it disabled by default now because neither AMD not Intel seem to officially support it in new CPUs (so windows will have the same problem)
To check if your cpu supports it, you can run:
journalctl | grep S1
You should see a message that says something like CPU supports S1 S2 S3 etc. if S3 is there then deep sleep is supported and can be enabled.

Fedora desktop or atomic instructions: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/laptop-appears-to-sleep-but-not-suspend/77193/4
Note, this is purely the fault of CPU manufacturers for being so shitty about proper sleep and yet another point that has to be conceeded to apple. Imagine explaining to a normal person that your XPS is really good and way cheaper than a Mac…but the batter will die overnight when you need it in the morning. Literally just shooting themselves in the foot.
Hibernate works as well but takes a bit longer. Hibernate also crashes in many modern systems but again works great in my older XPS. You have to manually activate this as well and it’s really not to bad with a good ssd.
That being said his should all be very basic functionality so why do I have to do this manually. This shit is why people buy Macs.
There’s also room for distros to improve here. The installer can probe the CPU and see if S3 is supported, if so it can use deep sleep automatically. Why do I have to mess with Kernal arguments?
Similar for hibernate, why doesn’t the installer just have a check box that sets up the hibernate file/partition?
Do you have a link that talks about this? What is missing?
Steamos is based on arch so they are helping with upstream development
