The cloud-native part is that it's built with tools and things you'd see in cloud-native like OCI containers, gitops, etc. Here's the containerfile as an example of how it's put together: https://github.com&#x

Hi! I work on this. There's no `rpm-ostree` equivalent in Debian, so you'd have to make an image natively with ostree. This is what EndlessOS does: https://www.endlessos.org/os `rpm-ostree` grew OCI support, which

I ran chimeraOS for years and it worked fine, I switched to dogfood more than anything else. If your system is working there's no reason to mess with it.

The OS is delivered to you via a container (via the github registry), but can also run things in containers. The OS itself is run on the bare metal.

Works if the developer enables it. For example: Halo Infinite works fine, but Destiny and Call of Duty don't.

Not a tangent at all! https://gitlab.com/fedora/ostree/ci-test/ is the current location of the composed images we derive from. That's what ends up on quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops/ which is wh

(Co maintainer here) Yeah this why don't call it a distro. It's just your scripts/ansible playbooks and then github runs "podman build" regularly and spits out an image at the end. At the end of the day it's ju

We are fortunate to have the Fedora Asahi SIG to the enablement work: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Asahi There's stuff to do as far as making ostree/oci builds out of that but we're talking t

Hi! I worked on this with some friends over the past two years or so (we had to work on the generic tooling first: https://universal-blue.org/ ) I'm happy to answer questions you might have! Thanks for checking it out!

I find it ironic that the author mentions how much better watching Pink Floyd at Pompeii is better. Roger Waters is probably salivating at the prospect of putting The Wall in the Sphere.

I'm familiar with endless (and their excellent team!). The current issue is that it doesn't support layering like Silverblue does via rpm-ostree. I'd be awesome if there was a community effort around bringing the layering fun

You don't consume ostree directly like that, what happens is someone would make Debian ostree-enabled OCI images for users to consume and adapt. https://opendev.org/starlingx/apt-ostree is one such effort to bring

You don't know anyone who develops in containers? It's a pretty common pattern these days.

Distrobox and toolbox are developer tools, they explicitly are there as a convenience wrapper for podman/docker for development. If you want hard separation you'd need a VM. It'd be awesome if you could just --firecracker on

Your system should be cleaning up unused runtimes. That's perhaps a distribution integration issue that should be filed and fixed?

The disk space thing is a myth, once you start to install apps people actually use it ends up being about the same. If you test it with VMs you can check it out for yourself: https://www.ypsidanger.com/wasting-disk-space&#x2
