I will respond even though this post is several days old because I actually do this. I have some vpses on Hetzner that run Silverblue no problem. It is not an install option available by default there, but support uploaded an iso under my account quickly when asked.

If you do it, change the active firewalld zone. The default is for a desktop, so not great for vps space.

Nothing serious. In GNOME my alternate chars and compose were set to the same key after the upgrade; just had to change one. There was an issue with "sloppy" window focus, but they fixed that upstream before the official release of 45. I upgraded during the beta.

According to Mindat, this is the Lomas Bayas disctrict, and the most prominent mine appears to be the Fortuna de Cobre, in a copper porphyry deposit. I would normally reach for malachite first, but it is not listed as found at any of the mines, so your main options are brochantite or (surprise!) atacamite.

Malachite can be eliminated for sure by testing with vinegar; it will effervesce slightly. Between brochantite and atacamite, there is considerable overlap in color, hardness, etc. You will have to get a lens and look for some crystals where the shape is distinct enough to determine if they are monoclinic (brochantite) or orthorhombic (atacamite).
