What is this?

See ublue for more details

Usage

Warning: This is an experimental feature and should not be used in production (yet), however it's pretty close) Depending on the version of rpm-ostree on your system you might need to pass an additional --experimental flag

To rebase an existing Silverblue/Kinoite machine to the latest release (37):

sudo rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/geekgonecrazy/triiodide:37

We build date tags as well, so if you want to rebase to a particular day's release:

sudo rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/geekgonecrazy/triiodide:20221217

The latest tag will automatically point to the latest build. Note that when a new version of Fedora is released that the latest tag will get updated to that latest release automatically.

Features

Start with a base Fedora Silverblue 37 image
Removes Firefox from the base image
Adds the following packages to the base image:
- distrobox and gnome-tweaks
Sets automatic staging of updates for the system
Sets flatpaks to update twice a day
Everything else (desktop, artwork, etc) remains stock so you can use this as a good starting image
