secureblue @secureblue.dev@bsky.brid.gy now contains bazaar! I'm very happy to see consistent and good store among many bootc images, leaving the old PackageKit slow store behind! Shoutout to @kolunmi@kolunmi@hachyderm.io

#OpenSource developers, we are looking for speakers for #DevConf_CZ 2026! 🐧
One of the highlights this year will be the evolution of #Linux operating systems. If you have insights on #CentOS, #Fedora, #Silverblue, or advancements in #Kernel development and #Edge computing, we invite you to submit your proposals: https://pretalx.devconf.info/devconf-cz-2026/cfp
A manual update of the #Zirconium flavour of my Bluefin desktop. I know. Utter gibberish.This has been running quite snappily, for me at least. I do have my original Bluefin desktop pinned so I can always revert back to that if needed. The joys of the whole #bootc thing.
🚀 New Zena ISO released!
A modular, polished Linux desktop. Switch software profiles instantly with Zix, create VMs in one command, and enjoy a refined, consistent theme.
Clean, flexible, and ready to use.

We continuously update the map with existing Desktop Linux use cases on our website at https://eu-os.eu/use-cases#notable-migrations. Today, we added two new places:
1) 🇳🇱 The university of Groningen offers Linux computers to their staff if they ask for it. https://ukrant.nl/magazine/we-can-do-without-them-how-the-ug-is-cutting-ties-with-big-tech/?lang=en
2) 🇨🇿 The Czech National Film Archive uses a similat setup to #EU_OS: #AlmaLinux #bootc with #freeIPA for some of their staff. Now Czechia is on the map! https://nfa.cz/en
Apparently a little toy image I made with my friends @valerie_tar_gz and @bri reached 100 users at some point close to new years! I've been daily driving Zirconium for a bit now and I'm having a lot of fun, works pretty well on my dual core laptop as well. Maybe check it out if you are interested :3c
@AmyIsCoolz @jorge Glad you liked our project!! Checked out your modifications - I love that #bootc makes it so easy to make your own images
We've just finished moving Bluefin and Aurora to a shared OCI container instead of using RPM packages for all of it, now you can do crazy stuff like Ubuntu-based Bluefin with the Bootcrew images if you want to :P Who would've though that not relying on packages would be a good idea, huh!
Introducing #bootc support in the Anaconda installer - new article by our team on Fedora Magazine.
This is the early preview of the feature, which has been recently merged to the Fedora Rawhide.
Feedback is welcome

chroot - fs isolation
systemd nspawn container - namespace isolation
podman - hardware isolation
#Bootc #containers are designed to create bootable images from container inputs, allowing for the deployment and management of entire operating systems using container technology. #QEMU, on the other hand, is a hardware virtualization tool that can run virtual machines, including those created from bootc images, providing a way to emulate different hardware architectures.
#virtualization #isolation #container #cloud #devops #production #infrastructure
what about #incus how is this different?-- correct me if I am wrong
Containers package an application with its dependencies and run on a shared operating system, while #unikernel compile an application with only the necessary OS components, allowing them to run independently and more efficiently, especially in resource-constrained environments.
I've built linux images with #buildroot before that run completely from ramdisk, so the SD only has a rpi boot partition which I only mount to scp new images there.
Buildroot is nice, but I'd prefer to build a minimal read only system from a binary distribution rather than compiling firmware images for each one-off project.
I'm looking into #fedora #bootc images but the state of fedora/coreos/iot on raspberry pi is a bit confusing.
Fedora's elections are now open until Wednesday, 7th January!
I'm applying for a seat at FESCo [1] as I want to represent the interests of users, developers and maintainers of what we call Atomic, Bootable Container, Image Based or Immutable variants of Fedora (CoreOS, Atomic Desktops, IoT, bootc, etc.).

Here we go, back to my demo work for todays show, Noon eastern, thats 3.5 hours and ticking.
I worked out the RHEL 9 to 10 in place upgrade demo. We'll also be covering how to build a new bootc image, how to make images into actual disks that you can then use in your environment, and if there's time, i'll even throw in a demo of how we can use SCAP to harden a machine at image creation time.
And because my week's been so busy, here I am, after hours, working on my demo for TOMORROW's Into the Terminal.
Want to see how it turns out? Itll either be awesome, or a trainwreck. Either way, entertainment at its finest!
So. one of the things that I am busy with, is part of a lab that will be used at conferences and events around RHEL Image mode (bootc), on building compliance and hardening into the base image. Pretty neat stuff.
You can use OpenSCAP in the Containerfile, and harden the OS before it ever hits hardware. On the other side of it, you get an immutable OS, thats configured to your compliance profile. Pretty cool.
But its due tomorrow, which is what makes it stressful. :P
@pheonix As it happens I just wrote about using Bazzite and Distrobox for @lwn. Literally just hit publish on the Distrobox article, the Bazzite piece went up yesterday.
You can use a terminal emulator like Ptyxis to "integrate" with a Distrobox container -- just set it to open right into a Distrobox of your choosing -- and operate like that's the host. For me, it's not much different than just running a package-based system -- I hardly notice any difference.
I've also gone a bit off the deep end and am building my own custom Bazzite image with niri. If I'm ever satisfied with it I may post a link to it for others to use if they like. There's also Spacefin which might suit folks who want niri or Cosmic right now...
tl;dr -- I don't think it's too much friction, if you just embrace using a single Distrobox as the default environment for new apps, etc. YMMV of course. #LWN #Distrobox #Bazzite #Fedora #bootc
