Using the Bazzite image has replaced Windows for me. Basically everything works.

Bazzite – The Next Generation of Linux Gaming
There are a slew of images built on Fedora Silverblue and a lot of them are very interesting. The ability to rebase in and out of base images safely and atomically is really powerful and liberating. If you haven’t tried an “immutable” distribution, I would highly recommend it. It really does feel like the most logical way to run Linux with zero fuss and maximum flexibility and safety,

Chimera Linux
There isn't something completely like that, but Fedora Silverblue comes really close (and [Universal Blue](https://universal-blue.org/) pushes it slightly closer)

Thoughts of a future TuxedoOS
I'm thinking about Silverblue and Kenoite. Especially, I'm looking at the Universal Blue project. UBlue, because creating your ISO is dead simple because it starts from an OCI image declaration (docker compose).

Fedora 39 Released
I'm on a https://universal-blue.org/ -based "custom image" of Fedora Silverblue and I love it. In my image, I ship some essentials software and other things that are just easy to have in there like fonts, plus a script for installing gnome extensions. Then I have a Nix home-manager -based shell configuration containing some common developer tools as well. The bulk of the (GUI) software I use comes as Flatpaks, and my development environment is a distrobox arch container.
I've set all updates to be automatic and almost never have to worry about them. I am on the :latest tag and my computer updates between major versions automatically, and I haven't had any breakage yet. I feel pretty confident in the stability of my system and feel like were the disk to corrupt, I could get back up and running with the exact same setup very quickly.

Project Bluefin Linux
Hi! I worked on this with some friends over the past two years or so (we had to work on the generic tooling first: https://universal-blue.org/)
I'm happy to answer questions you might have! Thanks for checking it out! (I'll be at KubeCon Chicago with stickers if you want the live demo on a Framework 13)

Alpine Linux does not make the news
This is actually run my computer, with a fedora-silverblue based image but my CLI is running alpine images.
So I made a little kit so anyone can do this on any linux so you can try all the cool stuff in there without the downsides of running a less popular configuration on the bare metal.
And since it's Alpine it's always a fast download vs. a heavier container.

Building minimal GNU/Linux operating system images using Systemd Mkosi
I work with a free and open-source software community called Fedora Project. I had the opportunity to moderate the talk of one of the maintainers of the Systemd suite during the annual contributor conference, Flock To Fedora 2023 where he talked about a tool named Mkosi.

Seamlessly run other Linux distributions inside your terminal
For testing i prefer systemd-nspawn containers with mkosi. A neat tool for running your other fav. distro in a terminal. Works like a charm and integrates nicely in your system. Eg. logs and systemd services or CI testing.

LAPAS: The story of how I made a distribution for LanPartyServers
There's also mkosi: https://github.com/systemd/mkosi. This one outputs an iso or similar image file and supports many base distributions.

Crafting container images without Dockerfiles
System's mkosi is worth checking out too: https://github.com/systemd/mkosi I don't think it generates docker/OCI images directly, but it definitely can generate a tarball of the final image contents and then crane of a similar tool could package it up into an appropriate image. For just docker usage it's probably overkill, the main advantage would be it can build other image types like adding a kernel and init to be a fully bootable iso of VM image.

Rocket.Chat🚀+ Constellation💫 = most secure chat server ever (?!)
Constellation ensures that all K8s nodes run on AMD-based Confidential VMs (CVMs). CVMs are strongly isolated from the host and remain encrypted in memory at runtime. Constellation also ensures that all nodes run the same minimal mkosi-based node image.

AtomsDevs/Atoms - Easily manage Linux Chroot(s) and Containers
At first glance I thought your project is a frontend for mkosi but then I saw that you support non-systemd targets too. Mentioning it here because it may be relevant to other users/developers.
