I recommend you read https://blues.win/posts/joy-of-linux-theming/ that poses the very relevant question: "what is a Linux distribution anyway"?
So if EU OS is a distribution by itself pretty much depends on the definition of distribution. I think the definition should be narrow and then #EU_OS should would not be a distribution.
Podman Desktop is just so awesome. I'm going to create a bootable container disk image for AlmaLinux 9.5, which I will upload to netcup and install it on a VPS.
What changed in the past year in the area of #Bootc?

"'#Bootc and associated tools provide the basis for building a personalised desktop. This article will describe the process to build your own custom installation.'"

WOW I didn't realize I am already using #Bootc and #ComposeFS on my system.
Thanks #uBlue #AuroraLinux
Now let's check the status of #Podman + ComposeFS...
You can thank `bootc`, `/usr/lib/bootc/kargs.d/`, and @fiftydinar for your new ability to include kargs in your native container image.
Just make sure to update with `bootc` instead of `rpm-ostree`.
Check it out!

Reboost ♻️ plz: #EU_OS is now partner for the French Gov Hack days early June in Paris.
The organisers were so kind to create a dedicated track covering the OS part of the digital workspace.
Check out the call for participants to join the EU OS team in Paris (or online):

From #CentOSConnect: Carol Chen and Cedric Clyburn talked about using bootable containers to deploy AI workloads.

The Joy of Linux Theming in the Age of Bootable Containers
new fyra this week just dropped (for the first time)

https://eu-os.gitlab.io received a few updates today after some legit criticism.
- Logo has now consistently a purple gradient for more distinction to EU flag 🇪🇺.
- Home page: EU OS is not yet an EU project
- FAQs acknowledge that Linux is already used in the public sector. The unique selling point is better clarified: use of #bootc and more collaboration across the EU to bring down the costs for a migration from Windows #endof10
- university of Oslo added to use cases 🎉

I'm really exited about RHEL image mode that offers a method to manage RHEL in a container native way.
If you like to know how what it has to offer checkout my tutorial at: https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2025/03/12/how-build-deploy-and-manage-image-mode-rhel
Kennt ihr den RHEL image mode? Es ist eine der spannendsten Neuerungen in RHEL. Mehr dazu könnt ihr in meinem Blog erfahren: https://www.my-it-brain.de/wordpress/einfuehrung-in-den-rhel-image-mode/

Sorry #OpenSUSE but BTRFS snapshots don't offer the same functionalities of #Bootc or RPM-OSTree+OCI images that would be perfect for multiple vendors like public institutions looking for "layering" their customizations on top of each others.
TIL that you can build a #bootc derivative container, a qcow2 image from it, boot it with QEMU (including /dev/kvm!!!) in #GitHub #workflows , and run some smoke test inside that VM in 5 mins. This is practical and pleasantly fast.
#bootc testing, here we come!
