@jorge mmmm we need a better description to call it then if you don't class it as a distro "custom image" sounds a bit rubbish too need a good way to describe such a thing in future, but i can't think of something cool right now, will adjust the article now @gamingonlinux Yeah image is a cloud/server term. It's just new on the desktop. Don't know what other people are going to call it so I'm going with the industry standard on this one. 😀 @jorge edited the article to note it 👍 if you come up with a better simple way to name it, let me know lol @gamingonlinux Yeah desktop enthusiasts who aren't used to this are struggling with this one, heh. Thank you for not calling it immutable -- so we've at least made some progress! @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux |
@gamingonlinux Heya Liam, thanks for the write up! On the "new distro" thing, it's not that.
This is a relatively new technique to the Linux desktop of layering custom changes onto an existing Fedora image.
You can always throw away those customizations and boot into a pristine upstream Fedora image. (or any other image for that matter).
So it's applying a config on top of Fedoa. This is an important distinction we try to make because no one wants more distros (and we agree!)
