tulili :v18:The Universal Blue team was tired of waiting for upstream so we did it ourselves and made a Live ISO builder for `bootc` images: Titanoboa! It's currently in a pretty alpha-ish state since we've started developing this like 3 days ago, but its already somewhat functional and Blue95 (a custom windows95-like image made by Adam Ledif) already has a functioning live installer for the image if you wanna try it out! What does this mean for you?

Though I think this development and <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/bootc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bootc</a> are big advantage for organisations who already work with containers. It is also an advantage for organisations that would require more than one image for different ministries/departments/user groups.I have followed the development on <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/MicroOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicroOS</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kalpa" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@kalpa</a> .

.:\dGh/:.One thing I have from immutable (atomic) distros, and is how cumbersome is installing apps that require root permissions.Supposedly you have to use Distrobox. Even that never worked for me.

seungjinNixOS is cool, but it's nothing new. I've seen many smart people doing an excellent job with chroot, symlinks, and Chef/Puppet long before NixOS came along. A really cool thing is the Atomic desktop and bootc model. If you want a secure and solid environment, the Atomic desktop is the way to go. There's a learning curve, but it opens up a whole new world for you. <a href="https://mstd.seungjin.net/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nixos</a> <a href="https://mstd.seungjin.net/tags/atomicdesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atomicdesktop</a> <a href="https://mstd.seungjin.net/tags/bootc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bootc</a>
