Our goal is to make GNOME OS a daily driver for QA and finalize the migration, but this work will be fundamental to the future of all secure image based / immutable Linux distributions.
It's kind of crazy that up until June of this year, RHEL (not clone) adoption was up at work, we were in negotiations for buying Openshift, and I hadn't used any form of SUSE since 2006. Now, all previous RHEL instances are running some form of SUSE, Rancher adoption to production happened at an absolutely unreal pace. SUSE took over a little AlmaLinux ground, but not as much as AlmaLinux gained.
@vwbusguy I like CoreOS a lot. You might not know, but there is very good story with it for device edge. I have this small rig at work which runs some smaller edge boxes with Red Hat Device Edge (coreos). There is plenty to do with rh coreos, we should make it more visible. Check out image builder, you can build own variants with it. It's super! And if you look at fedora ostree variants, the usage is not shrinking.
(For those of you who might not know, Fedora Silverblue is based on rpm-ostree.
Think of it as your OS on git.
Upgrades are like a simple git pull and take almost no time at all, even between major versions. It’s very common that I’m running today’s OS on my machine.
And if something goes wrong, you can always roll back. Not that I’ve had to yet.)
