Note to myself (after reinventing the wheel): on MicroOS you can layer applications by using 'sudo transactional-update pkg install {program-name}'. Big gripe by users is you have to reboot, and with 6 or 7 programs that's annoying (htop, fastfetch, mc, micro, you get it).
So: install the first program with the command above, don't reboot. Then install the others one by one with: 'sudo transactional-update --continue pkg install {program-name}'. When finished with all reboot. Done.
And I think, the main point of what he wanted to say is that you need to use the 'continue' flag, otherwise you will create multiple "snapshots" of the system if you install apps ones after another and not in one batch.
MicroOS is something like Kinoite (transactional Fedora, you did a long term review on your channel). On Kinoite, you can't do 'dnf install', you need to use that 'ostree' command.
@thelinuxcast@peterkotrcka But of course we never use those overlays anyway. At least we shouldn't, but that's not IRL 🤣 That's what i like about BlueBuild, i 'bake' those items into my image beforehand.
