I find rpm-ostree really cool technology. Have been playing with it my X390 Thinkpad, which is like my "testing ground for new stuff".

Has this been applied to other distributions so far similarly as in Silverblue?

I'm particularly interested could I redo this with arch baseline?

Adding that I'm pretty unfamiliar and not very knowledgeable with ostree.

@jarkko You could use mkosi and make something like https://signstar.archlinux.page/resources/mkosi/signstar/ or https://invent.kde.org/kde-linux/kde-linux

Or you could use bootc and Arch

@tris @jorge Thanks a lot of for pointers, have to read and study this with time :-)

@jarkko @jorge I use mkosi-initrd[1] but I still prefer traditional OS, if I had a spare system I surely would have made OS images with mkosi and probably with bootc too :P

I have told kernel development story in KDE Linux is good now: https://kde.org/linux/docs/kernel-dev

I don't know what rebuild-efi is script I'm guessing it's a script around mkosi-initrd like mine. Enjoy, have fun! :D

@jarkko I think it was just a middle step for bootc bootable containers where such systems head to.

@ikkeT @jarkko bootc is the continuation, weve been using it on our ublue images (aurora/bluefin/bazzite) for a ”while” now :)

@pauldoo @inffy @ikkeT

This got me hooked. I have my sandbox "arch distro". I'm hammering it into container and pre-populate most of GNOME apps from Flatpak. And for developement enviroments I add distrobox to the core image.

I don't have anything from AUR (except bootc needs to be hooked up from there) and my command-line tools are like "20 years the same and still ongoing" type of selection for the most part :-) (e.g., I even favor regular vim over nvim).

What I'm trying to do is to make BuildRoot image my rootfs and lay toolbox and flatpak on top of it. I.e. a BR produced desktop image :-)

Let's he how this goes...
