Press Kit

Thanks for generating content about about Bluefin and Universal Blue! This document will explain how to use the brand and terminology used by the project.

Bluefin Terminology

The name of the project is Project Bluefin but usually shortened to just Bluefin. It is built with Universal Blue, which publishes base images that Bluefin uses. These in turn are derived from Fedora’s Silverblue images. Universal Blue is the parent organization of Bluefin, Bazzite, Aurora, and uCore. It also acts as the GitHub organization.

Proper Usage

  • Bluefin - used to refer to the project and/or the operating system
  • Bluefin GTS - used to refer to the GTS version of Bluefin specifically. This is the default experience
  • Bluefin DX - Bluefin with developer mode turned on, only relevant when discussing developer-specific features

Incorrect Usage

  • BluefinOS - or any addition of “OS” to the name
  • Fedora Bluefin - this implies a formal relationship between Fedora and Bluefin. Check the mission document for more information about the relationship between Fedora and Universal Blue
  • Universal Blue Bluefin or uBlue Bluefin - “Bluefin is built with Universal Blue” or “Bluefin is a Universal Blue image” is recommended instead.
  • “Immutable Distribution” - Bluefin is an operating system, it is neither immutable nor a distribution, it is a custom image based on Fedora.

Universal Blue Terminology

Proper Usage

  • Universal Blue - used to refer to the Universal Blue Project, the GitHub organization, or the collective set of maintainers

Incorrect Usage

  • uBlue, UBlue, ublue-os, or any contraction of the term. These shorthand names are commonly used as convenience slugs in URLs or paths in the operating system such as /usr/share/ublue-os

Governance

All Universal Blue images share governance structures and are modelled after cloud native projects such as Kubernetes:
