More about bootc and some quick updates!

[@afterstory1263]

2 videos in a week, be careful to no burnout, jokes aside thanks for the update on the project, its nice seeing the growth and increased acceptance around the ecosystem.

[@allenarcher]

I love these update videos. Good stuff.

1:48, he looks excited

[@rapacious_rapscallion]

Great changes. Looking forward to it.

[@ivyZorz]

Absolutely love what you guys at ublue are doing. Keep it up!

[@Easymoney778]

Awesome content, keep it coming!

[@ExylonBotOfficial]

Can't wait to be using this!

This is all really cool for an image based OS but I still don't get why it should be used on desktops. I have a few simple and complex distrobox with systemd and updating them is like maintaining a whole another system with its own package manager. Sysadmins want a stable base system, I get that on servers. But on desktops where I'm the sole user why would I need strict separation of packages, I'm not going to trash my own base system. There are no competing or differing interests here. If I need a dev environment or go crazy with experimenting stuff I spin up a container or VM on my normal distro.

It's helpful if you have multiple devices, even if it's just in the family home. Saves you having to manage all of them - you just manage one image and they all pull from that. Or you let someone else, like Universal Blue, manage the image - the effect is the same. Want to add a package to all of your devices? Just do it once. Want to change the firewall rules across them, too? Same again. One image = more time for other stuff, and less time being an unpaid sysadmin at home, everything just works.... And if it doesn't, you can rollback and there's only one image to fix 😂

[@flow5718]

​@@Happy_Chappy Thanks, that was a good explanation for image based distros. I can see it would be helpful for peeps managing other devices, I know an old retired guy doing it for free for other older folks so it would be nice for peeps like that. No one else in my family uses or wants to use Linux so they don't usually bother me with PC stuff 😸

Counter question, why wouldn't you want your desktop to be reliable?

[@JorgeCastro]

I need reliability in my desktops, it's not an option for me. There's no reason why my desktop should be less reliable than my server, I treat them the same.

[@flow5718]

​@@JorgeCastro @owlmostdead9492 I don't understand, I have been using the normal versions of Fedora, openSUSE, and Mint for many years. No reliability issues here. I don't buy the claim that image based OS is more reliable than normal distros for a single desktop user who has common sense enough to spin up a container or VM when they want to do some experimentation without breaking the host. As @Happy_Chappy said I now understand the benefits for multiple deployments which a single person has to manage. Once again an enterprise use case mostly but brought to a very small niche of Linux desktop users who actually manage other Linux desktop user devices. I only know 1 person who does that, retired guy who repurposes older folks machines with Linux for free. It would be useful for peeps like him but I know no other desktop Linux user that would benefit from this. Jorge, you seem like a nice guy and I've been following this channel for some time out of curiosity but it seems like an excessive leak of enterprise first solutions into the desktop space, not that there's anything wrong with it, Linux is free software and you're free to do whatever you want after all, it doesn't make much sense to normal Linux desktop folks is all I'm saying. Or for that matter your own use case from past videos I've seen on your setup, basically Ubuntu and some other dev environments as containers right? You could just do that on a normal distro!

[@Sqwert-g6h]

Will any of this go up to the original Fedora Atomic desktops?
