Is high internet usage expected?
Why does Bazzite use so much bandwidth even for very small updates? Is this expected due to its architecture?
I just had a 4 GB update, just to update SDL2 and fastfetch.
Even though that's not really a problem for me it still seems a bit to much. Is there anything miss configured with my system that i can fix?
PS: only layered package is python-LenovoLegionLinux and base image is bazzite-nvidia:stable

Custom Operating System images based on Fedora
basically every time an update comes out bazzite has to download nearly the whole image from scratch and replace the old one, swapping out your whole os
apparently work on container deltas, which basically allow only the parts that got updated, should have started in may but im not sure
anyways this is a really dumbed down explanation because I don't 100% understand it but that's basically the gist of it
Yeah I get a 3-4GB update with every new update. I found that this is a bit of problem when I go on vacation and don't have uncapped internet. So I typically use the command
ujust toggle-updates disable to disable the automatic updates and then do a ujust update for manual updates.this is limitation of rpm-ostree at this time and is being addressed
eventually we will have tiny diffed updates
Is that an upsteam thing that Fedora need to add to rpm-ostree? Bazzite would be amazing with delta updates
yes, redhat is working on it
Thanks for the information 👍
