Isn't CoreOS and Silverblue basically the same thing? They're both rpm-ostree things, the difference is that Silverblue/Kinoite/Sericea happens to have a base layer that boots to graphical.target instead of multi-user.target? I myself am looking to test openSUSE Aeon later, yet another rpm-ostree thing.

Conceptually, they are immutable Linux distros, but they're far from being the same. CoreOS is optimised for server use, and made to run containers and containers only, with unattended system upgrades/reboots. Silverblue is a workstation-type distro, centered around Flatpak and pet-type containers for real work (toolbox, distrobox) The difference is larger than running Fedora Server on your desktop.

  So, it sounds like "Fedora Silverblue layered on top of Fedora CoreOS" is incoherent.

    I mean, all distros are basically a set of packages on top of the Linux kernel. Technically there is no difference, in practice there is.
