I'm happy to help folks get ISOs up and going. My question is: is cosmic more of a main image or is it a downstream image like Bluefin or Bazzite?
GAre the builds succeeding now?
JI think we're conflating making builds
RIMO it's a main image people should extend, like Sway and Budgie.
Therefore I think we should be careful about making ISOs. We make ISOs, we will need to build Nvidia. We build Nvidia, people ask for ZFS etc

Jand what people expect as a product
Jthough I guess it doesn't matter, when it becomes a fedora spin it'll just ingest into main anyway
GI'm all for a bluefin-esque cosmic image but idk about directly in the cosmic repo
Ai think its both
Aespecially if you do day 1
RFrom there we could consider making a customized cosmic experience i.e. a downstream image. I think there’s a lot of potential there
NThat's what I'm trying to get to the nuts and bolts of. We don't make ISOs for main images currently, I don't want to set a precedent that we will do it for other images.
Athink about it its gonna be the first Cosmic ISO
Afirst cosmic ISO like come on
NAlso this.
RI’m pretty sure serpentos or someone else might have cosmic isos already
RDon’t quote me on that though
Aif you'd like to not commit to it you can always say its an Alpha image
NPopOS would be that wouldn't it?
Jyeah but that's easy, it's the implications of giving people a product that I'm concerned about
Alink me the ISO
JI mean we could have made ISOs months ago if we wanted to lol
NRight.
GPop!OS gets the ISO on august 8th
RWe have ISOs right now. Just not being published anywhere. And no idea if they work

NImages vs Experiences as a wise man once said in a presentation 
Ayeah same day thats not bad
ROnce cosmic is upstreamed a bluefin-esque image would be really cool
JRight but also explicit "we are not bitnami" in the governance, that's there for a reason.
RDunno it still says queued to merge 
Ai fixed a small /usr/etc to /etc issue with rechunk today
Ayou might want to bump to it, may cause some other issues. I tested a bazzite deck image and it worked
Athe /etc/containers/policy file was not being overwritten before
NRight, I literally don't care if someone wants to host ISOs of any of the main images, I'm just bringing up what we have discussed and decided on in the past.
GI'll bump after the merge
Agreat
Abut I think making an exception for cosmic ISOs and saying people can rebase to say KDE might get some eyeballs
Awill get some eyeballs
Aalso showcases a lot of this tech. The fact that you can beat all other distros to it and ship a working iso
Aday 1
Jyeah but we do that every day lol
Jthis has been here for months, someone could have PRed it by now
Jlike, just do it?
Awill get some press for sure is all im saying. If someone wants to get Cosmic Alpha tomorrow on fedora they have to get ublue
Aor do the dance and install it over kde
Awe do handhelds every day with bazzite and you saw how much press ally x got
Jyou don't need to convince me of anything lol
Awhen youtube channels tomorrow want to cover cosmic, hey some of them might choose ublue
Jeveryone's like "you should do this" and the builds are red.
Athats all the convincing i have in me
Await thats old
