@maxamillion@fosstodon.orgI feel like not enough people fully grasp how awesome Image Mode RHEL and bootc are. Seriously this is next Gen awesome and I think will become foundational to how immutable/atomic Linux distros are built in the next few years. SO COOL.

@maxamillion Is Image Mode #RHEL like #Fedora #Silverblue?
@kolev @maxamillion It's more bootc-based: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/bootc/
From the user experience, it's close to coreos and Silverblue, but the developer experience is quite different.
@kolev Silverblue is based on what I'll call "the previous gen tech" in this area with rpm-ostree, bootc being the new innovation in this space and where I would imagine Silverblue and the other Atomic Desktop flavors will eventually go over time as development catches up
@maxamillion @kolev we've actually been building container-based images of silverblue, kinoite, onyx and sericea for some time already, and you could rebase an existing install to the container-based images if you want to, but it's not the official stream yet.
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-council-tickets-ticket-492-new-initiative-fedora-bootc/116062 is the official bootc project for Fedora. we are already building bootc containers (currently out of the IoT composes) - e.g. https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/iot/Fedora-IoT-40-20240610.0/compose/bootc/ . basing other spins off them is the next step, I guess.
@maxamillion @kolev to get even more into the weeds, we actually build native oci images of the atomic desktops every day - e.g. https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/updates/Fedora-40-updates-20240611.0/compose/Silverblue/x86_64/images/Fedora-Silverblue-40.20240611.0.ociarchive - which just sort of lie around doing nothing. for silly reasons, the images we actually publish to registries - e.g. https://quay.io/repository/fedora/fedora-silverblue?tab=tags - are produced by building an ostree then converting it to a container. don't worry, all of this is getting made more sensible.
