This summer we're asking the question: What if we just started using GNOME OS as our primary OS?

It's still early days for GNOME OS, but it's finally ready for wider testing by developers and early adopters, on real hardware. Join us for a 3-month challenge from today until September 1st, file and fix some issues, and win a a OnePlus 6 with Linux Mobile or a limited-edition shirt 🌈👕

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!

Are you a Fedora Atomic user in need of packages from RPMFusion or Negativo17 repositories?
Or perhaps you want to use a different repo than what your upstream image includes by default?

Our 'bling' module now has helpers for enabling either one of those repositories.

Ever wanted to make your life easier by using a BlueBuild module, without committing to using the BlueBuild build system and recipe format?

Now there's a guide for that!

Is your computer with atomic Fedora not booting? Are you using Secure Boot? Or do you maintain a custom image of Fedora with multiple users?

Blogged about #imagebased #linux os composability with #systemd #sysext and our upcoming #torcx deprecation in #Flatcar #Container Linux: https://www.flatcar.org/blog/2023/12/extending-flatcar-say-goodbye-to-torcx-and-hello-to-systemd-sysext/

If you haven't heard about torcx, don't worry about it. It's a rather specific tool for a very limited use case. Sysexts on the other hand make customising immutable, image-based Linux distros like Flatcar a lot more flexible!

#Smalltalk and other #ImageBased #ComputerLanguages have a reputation for making software developed in them hard to upgrade. As far as I know, this has never been satisfactorily solved.

#Erlang, on the other hand, lets you upgrade modules "live", though they need to be made for it.

The persistent #LPMud implementation #DGD had hot code reloading built in: IIRC if you upgraded a class there was a command you could call to upgrade each instance of that class to use the new code.
