  • We should note that it is super easy to extend a bootc release, and use dnf to install additional packages. It is a docker/podman contanerfile of a few lines.

    I have a github repo that adds virtmanager and ghostty to the excellent zirconium release, rebuilds ever day - and then uupd pulls the update every day.

    The atomics are not meant to limit you, they are meant to free you to get what you want, usng simple oci tools.

    Another great thing is being able to swap distros with simple commands. I installed bluefin, then swapped to zircnium to get niri and dms.













  • Bcschefs was removed from the kernel, but it qas because Kent doesn’t play well with others, and not because of the technical side. BCachefs had a lot of potential, but it serves noone to end up in another Resier situation.

    Kent had a habit of pushing for wider kernel changes to support the FS, without working with the community, which will always break things. He is also very ego driven, and self-obsessed, which is not always a bad thing.

    Linus’ person-to-persin issues always started from a technical perspective, so it is different.
