๐ŸŒˆTODAY๐ŸŒˆ

We're having a community call for developers using image-based systems (such as GNOME OS), which don't have a traditional package manager. What workflows are still difficult for you? Which tools are you missing? We want to know, so we can work towards filling those gaps!

Today, Wednesday June 17th
13:00 UTC

Join us here: https://meet.gnome.org/rooms/v1m-z3a-d2r-ofh/join

Are you a developer using GNOME OS or another image-based system? If not, why not? We want to know what's missing ๐Ÿ—๏ธ๐Ÿค“

We're improving developer tooling for image-based OSes as part of this year's @PrototypeFund! The goal is to unlock workflows that are currently cumbersome or impossible, and generally improve testing/QA.

Join our introductory community call next week:

Recording for my #froscon talk on shipping #kubernetes as a #systemd #sysext and painless in-place updates on #Flatcar #Linux is now available: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2025-3330-immutable_turtles_all_the_way_down#t=25

Calm before the conference. If you're at #FrOSCon check out the Flatcar booth right at the Mensa, next to #KairOS and near #Fedora #CoreOS.

I have a #Kubernetes #Sysext talk on #Flatcar #container #linux at 6 tomorrow, and @tormath1 will follow up with a hands-on tutorial on Sunday at 4.

On Sunday 17th 4:00pm, @tormath1 will run a workshop to learn how to run, build and update systemd-sysext images on image based systems. https://programm.froscon.org/2025/events/3340.html

Lecture: Immutable Turtles All the Way Down | Saturday | Schedule FrOSCon 2025

Attending to @FrOSCon this year is a good opportunity to: learn about Flatcar and discuss your use-cases with some Flatcar's maintainers (at the Flatcar booth and/or during the social event). See you there!

I restored Discover to my Bazzite install using a Systemd-Sysext. Essentially a sub disk image that is loaded during boot of the immutable system, that way you dont have to layer all the plasma components this would usually require!

Neat! No shade to the #bazaar devs

If people want instructions I guess I can write something up over the weekend

I'm getting the itch of building my next linux install using #systemd #confext and #sysext. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Basic point, memory of #ansible keeps getting further. ๐Ÿ˜… Can build out #btrfs subvolumes that are mounted read only. No modification of the /usr or even /etc necessary.
