Good catch! the ujust recipes now invoke sudo themselves for the system-wide flatpak steps, so no manual sudo is needed anymore 🤝
I’m back just to say that I’ve added a new ujust margine-sunshine command to install Sunshine in the same way you can on Bazzite 🎉
It will be included in the next update
is it possible to install sunshine like im bazzite with ujust setup sunshine?
Not with that exact command, no. ujust setup-sunshine is a Bazzite recipe, and Margine is built on Bluefin DX rather than Bazzite, so it does not ship it.
You can still run Sunshine. Try with the Flatpak: flatpak install flathub dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine.
Heads up that, unlike Bazzite’s recipe, the Flatpak does not auto-wire the system bits (uinput/udev for virtual input, capture permissions, the firewall ports), so you may need to set a couple of those up by hand. Alternatively you can layer the native RPM from LizardByte with rpm-ostree.
Maybe, in the future, I can set up a sunshine layer for margine with a dedicated ujust command…
is it possible to rebase from bazzite to margine?
A direct rebase from Bazzite GNOME to Margine should technically be possible, since both use the Fedora Atomic/bootc model, but I haven’t tested that specific path yet, so I can’t currently call it officially supported.
The safest route would be:
Bazzite GNOME → Bluefin DX stable → Margine
Rebasing between images that use the same desktop environment is generally supported, while switching from Bazzite KDE to Margine’s GNOME desktop is not recommended. Before rebasing, I would also remove any layered RPM packages or overrides that could conflict with the new image. Once you are on Margine, if gaming is important to you, I recommend installing the native gaming layer:
ujust margine-gaming-native
systemctl reboot
This installs the native RPM versions of Steam, Lutris, and RetroArch, which generally provide better Proton/Wine compatibility, anti-cheat support, VR integration, and driver matching than the Flatpak-based gaming layer.
Also, if Secure Boot is enabled, make sure to complete the Margine MOK enrollment after the rebase. The full procedure is documented here: https://margine.the-empty.place/docs/install-iso
Well, actually, Btrfs with zstd:1 compression is the default!
