		Borealid 32 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Bootc and OSTree: Modernizing Linux System Deploym... I like the idea of using the same format for kernel-included VMs as I use for containers. Next up, backups stored as layers in the same OCI registries. I am not, however, sure ostree is going to be the final image format. Last time I looked work was in progress to replace that.

There's a GitHub org that builds bootc-ready images for non-Red Hat family distributions using this backend.
