Software Management

Bluefin Framework wtgOS follows a "Strict Immutability" policy. The host system is kept clean, with all user software managed through isolated channels.

Inherited from Bluefin-DX​

As a derivative of Bluefin-DX, this spin inherits all the powerful developer-focused features of the upstream project:

  • Developer Tools: Pre-configured for containers and cloud-native development.
  • Just Task Runner: A massive library of ujust commands for system management.
  • Tailscale: Integrated for easy secure networking.

The "Strict" Policy​

To ensure system stability and security, we enforce the following:

  1. Zero Host GUI Packages: All graphical applications should be installed via Flathub.
  2. Zero Host CLI Tools: All development tools and command-line utilities should be installed via Homebrew or within a Distrobox.
  3. No RPMs in Recipe: We avoid adding .rpm packages to the OS image unless strictly required for hardware enablement.

Essential Commands​

  • Search for Flatpaks: flatpak search <name>
  • Install from Homebrew: brew install <formula>
  • System Updates: rpm-ostree upgrade
  • Bluefin Shortcuts: Run ujust to see a list of all available automation scripts.
