  • ABRoot

    ABRoot is utility which provides full immutability and atomicity to a Linux system, by transacting between two root filesystems. Updates are performed using OCI images, to ensure that the system is always in a consistent state.

  • It says it uses abroot rather than ostree

  • rpm-ostree

    ⚛📦 Hybrid image/package system with atomic upgrades and package layering

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • ostree

    Operating system and container binary deployment and upgrades

  • yabai
