Hello, just curious if something changed as Project Bluefin is no longer listed on Framework’s Linux community-support list as of about a week or so ago?

The documentation page on project bluefin page was removed as well. https://docs.projectbluefin.io/framework/

There’s a discussion on GitHub about this. Looks like it’s directly related to what’s being discussed in this thread.

But nothing except documentation/endorsements has been removed? Isn’t the process of installing and updating Bluefin the same as on any other computer? I have a FW12 and still plan to rebase from Bazzite (GNOME) to Bluefin if I find the time.

I don’t really get what you are trying to ask.
Its linux, it works just like before even if the documentation for FW and the endorsements are removed. There is nothing special that would be needed, all the needed stuff is in the kernel etc and bluefin just builds on top of that.
There is no “rebase” needed. Just install using the x86 ISO and use it.
Lot of us maintainers still use FW hardware daily.
It just works

I was having boot failures that seemed to have stemmed from the USB expansion card not being seated properly. Bluefin devs are still supporting the machine (they use it as a daily driver) they just don’t endorse Framework officially anymore.

I think that before the move to Fedora 43, Bluefin DID have to add things for full hardware support. Now it just works out of the box using stuff from upstream, and there is no longer any need for special Framework support or documentation.
