local layered

I noticed the coreos people starting to specifically say
"local layerd
"
J

it
's when you want something at the OS level but it
's not on the image
, you can rpm
-ostree install it
K
Kid
OP
•
3/27/24, 2:13 AM
but rpm
-ostree layered apps still have full system access
, right
?

3/27/24, 2:14 AM

, right
?
J
j0rge
•
3/27/24, 2:15 AM
no
, that
's why we say it
's on the image

3/27/24, 2:15 AM
it
's an OCI limitation
J
j0rge
•
3/27/24, 2:15 AM
that
's why we start from base layers and build from the bottom up
J
j0rge
•
3/27/24, 2:16 AM
the smaller the image the better
, so we try to keep important things in there
, and things like apps and stuff go in flatpaks and containers

Noel

3/27/24, 2:16 AM
Maybe my next project will be splitting out the steam layer from Bazzite
.
N
Noel
•
3/27/24, 2:16 AM
So other folks can layer easily
.
N
Noel
•
3/27/24, 2:16 AM
Also Bazzite doesn
't fail to build just because the steam layer failed
.

We have Steam on the image because the flatpak is not full featured
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:20 AM
You won
't have steam input support for wayland
, you won
't have VR support
, you won
't have HDR support

3/27/24, 2:21 AM
It also wouldn
't work for game mode if you use an image with that

Kyle Gospo

Kyle Gospo

It does have benefits since there
's no desktop environment running in the background
