I would love to know why it's based on Fedora instead of Debian since it seems to be highly influenced by Ubuntu.
EDIT a few minutes of reading and I seem to get it now. this project and some of the others (Silverblue specifically but also devbox and devpod) have been under my radar but I think I'm going to try this out for a bit.
Hi! I work on this. There's no `rpm-ostree` equivalent in Debian, so you'd have to make an image natively with ostree. This is what EndlessOS does: https://www.endlessos.org/os
`rpm-ostree` grew OCI support, which lets us build the entire thing with a dockerfile and github actions, which is much easier, we can run the entire thing out of github.
It would be awesome if you could use Debian for this but alas, no one has made a `deb-ostree`. If someone did it wouldn't be too hard for Universal Blue to publish Debian-based images.
The reason it had to be Fedora was because I can't do this with Debian or Ubuntu. Fedora had the tech but I still enjoy the Ubuntu/Debian part of the OS. Since distrobox exists I can replicate a reasonable facsimile of the native distro with an ubuntu container and a more ubuntu-like desktop.
