Anyone have any luck with Project Bluefin? Seemed interesting, but it looks like ujust is broken for Ampere/Arm. Was surprised because I thought it was supposed to run on the System76 machine.
Not tried it, but it does look like an interesting project. As someone who studied geology, I appreciate the dinosaur branding.
What does the failure look like?
Right now, the project is in a little bit of a confusing state - there is a Bluefin (Fedora based) and Bluefin LTS (Centos based) version. Right now only the LTS version has an ARM image - but they appear to be merging all of these images in March.
I tried Bluefin GDX (an LTS spin with an ARM image) - installed and looked great. NVIDIA drivers/CUDA right out of the box. What’s happening, though is there appears to be a sytax error in the justfile for their ujust tooling - throws a syntax error for everything and fails (at least for aarch64/Ampere). Therefore no updates, no bold brew, no adding additional components. My guess is they’re migrating to the “common” configuration rolling out in March - but for aarch64 or Ampere-specific systems ujust fails. (Works great on an AMD64 system, though that was the non-LTS version).
Ujust/just is new to me… immutable distro…. was a bridge-too-far to troubleshoot.
