So I recently ran across this post and thread by @vwbusguy, and I would like to try to address some of the questions/misconceptions/etc that come up in the thread.
If you have questions, please, ask. What we do with #Kalpa isn't identical to what #Fedora does with their #AtomicDesktops, but many of the concepts for the end user are going to be similar/the same.
@vwbusguy We see the upsides to the image based approach that #FedoraAtomic can offer to some folks, what the #ublue folks have going on, for instance, isn't really viable with our setup. It's all just a different way to approach a common problem.
@kalpa I have no idea if this is a thing or not, but there could be some interesting potential for #ublue style tools for #Kalpa and/or OBS. I know it's a different beast than ostree, but it could be awesome having a Ublue + SUSE Elemental approach to innovating custom immutable desktop environments on #OpenSUSE as well.
@vwbusguy I've been working on some ideas, with the #ublue guys already, and you'll probably see some of that making it's way into #Kalpa in the coming months. I can't speak to #Aeon, as I don't make the decisions there.
As far as the ability to do the image based rebasing, I'm not even certain how that would look, based on top of our stack, since we don't use ostree. Not to say it can't happen, but it's also not in our roadmap.
For users of any operating system, not just #Linux, what might keep you from trying/running an #immutable#Fedora desktop? If you are already running one, why did you choose it?
