bootc is a CNCF project now, so anybody can get on board.

Totally. Appliances are perfect candidates for this tech.

Arguably yes. I think the big improvement is that an upgrade is really just switching from image A to image B, rather than dozens to hundreds of individual package transactions. Furthermore parts of the system are fully mutable (e.g. /etc) allowing you to run automation against a system post install for more customisation.

... and it works fabulously. I have been running Bluefin (same folks as Bazzite) from one of these templates for about 6 months and it has been a near on flawless experience. I have moved from Fedora 40->41->42 without having to touch a traditional "upgrade".

Flatpak doesn't auto update out of the box on any distro I have used.

I'm all in on bluefin-dx too, and Bluetooth is working fine for me in my lenovo x1 carbon. Fingers crossed you can sort your issue out.

Fair call. In any case I think you'll find things moving towards bootc and away from having to know rpm-ostree at all. The bootc documentation for fedora is pretty good and the Universal Blue project has built some awesome distros that use bootc.

Which ABI has red hat broken between minor versions? Can you give some examples that weren't bugs that got fixed?

Alma is based on centos stream. Centos stream is red hat.

But you'll build your business on software you get for free on the internet with absolutely no commitment behind it?

>absolutely no commitment behind it?

I think commitment to your baby (your project) is far more morally superior than commitment to just making your stakeholders happy...no?

BTW: I buy Github DVDs, I don't load it from the "Internet".

Until they have an actual baby and don't have free time to spend maintaining large projects for free.

>to spend maintaining large projects for free.

What is your point, anyway?

That all of Debian will have a baby? Or that all of ArchLinux gets impregnated at once? Big projects are usually not led by a single person....oh whait...linux is, and now Linus cannot have sex anymore, thank you OP.
