From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

*Fedora Atomic

Its a huge bundle of tons of variants, likely 40 or so, if you take everything that uBlue, wayblue and secureblue produce

And that's without counting the roll-your-own variants. uBlue has been a remarkable project.

Fedora Atomic has been a remarkable project ;D

Fedora builds the container images, even though they themselves use OSTree remotes. There is a Change Proposal to change to them.

This means they continuously build the container images without even using them!

Only because of that the standard container workflow actions (they use an Ubuntu container!) even work. But for sure their tooling is very useful
