I would think so, just get it directly from there is what I'm thinking, and then people could swap out to alma/rocky/whatever and we don't have to choose the right or "wrong" one.

@j0rge Can I takeover the main-bootc repo? It's currently re-pushing the base fedora-bootc image, but I'd like to use it to start building bootc desktops

j0rgeOP•8/15/24, 6:12 PM

100% don't even PR just go go go.

Robert•8/15/24, 6:13 PM

Could I have admin? I'd like to change a few repo settings

j0rgeOP•8/15/24, 6:13 PM

like if we crib off of one of your images in order to get the rest of the stuff in place then that sounds smart to me.

Anyone happen to be familiar with this error in systemd-remount-fs?
Wondering if it has anything to do with composefs in the bootc images

mount: /: fsconfig system call failed: overlay: No changes allowed in reconfigure.

If I ignore that error, and manually create the gdm group, I get a desktop!
Well, the login screen. The desktop isn't loading

Ok, so 5 years of ublue lts? Since ublue distributes end-user images, I don't think the ability to switch to a different EL clone base will matter. The main distinction is between EL-next and EL

Thoughts on the relationship between HeliumOS and ublue lts?

Robert•8/15/24, 7:27 PM

It's enabled by default. The primary issue is it fails to start due to gdm group not being present for some reason

Strange. Do you have your changes pushed to your branch?

All changes are in the

imbev•8/15/24, 7:31 PM

Have you tried the "Fedora Workstation" group instead of gnome-desktop?

imbev•8/15/24, 7:36 PM

I encountered problems with NetworkManager until I installed the Workstation group

Iimbev Thoughts on the relationship between HeliumOS and ublue lts?

j0rgeOP•8/15/24, 7:50 PM

If I don't have to make bluefin:lts because heliumOS already exists then that would be fine with me too lol

j0rgeOP•8/15/24, 7:53 PM

like if you want to stake the claim for an end user consumable EL atomic images I don't think you'll have much competition, heh.

j0rgeOP•8/15/24, 7:54 PM

but if you want to bring EL expertise to the team and do it all together, also always open to doing everything as a group heh.

imbev•8/15/24, 7:57 PM

I will continue improving HeliumOS, but I would like to collaborate more with you and the rest of ublue.

j0rgeOP•8/15/24, 8:01 PM

always down for that! Has anyone from centos been checking out your stuff? I'd like to get this on shaun mccance's radar if you don't mind

Joseph Gayoso brought it up in a CentOS Stream Matrix channel, so Shaun is aware

ah ok, perfect.

NICE!

@imbev a longer support desktop from the Fedora world would be crazy to see. Would be interested to see what the balance looks like between new packages and the stability from staying on something old.

Joseph of Earth 2•8/16/24, 12:39 AM

Shame that it didn't stay on CentOS Stream because it would have been awesome for those guys to have a downstream example that they would like to play with, but Alma's great too. And Alma is a downstream as well.

Joseph of Earth 2•8/16/24, 12:40 AM

On the topic of bootc, I reached out this week to help them start figuring our how they want to market and position bootc and the bootc images. We'll see where they land but it's exciting. Lots of openness to the idea of bootc being an invitation for the community to build something with it.

bootc is much more approachable for downstream projects

Joseph of Earth 2•8/16/24, 1:26 AM

which i love so much

Joseph of Earth 2•8/16/24, 1:26 AM

What I would like to see is Fedora pick up more of the cloud native methodology that uBlue has if they don't already. But I know @Noel is looking at how that can work.

Joseph of Earth 2•8/16/24, 1:28 AM

Maybe it would be valuable to point folks from the atomic downstream community into the Fedora Atomic Desktops SIG specifically. Besides getting bootc over the line, I imagine that SIG is the next thing that is the most consequential for all of the atomic desktop downstreams. And I think Timothee would be grateful for the help.
