  1. bluefin

    The next generation Linux workstation, designed for reliability, performance, and sustainability.

    https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/blob/main/usr/bin/ublue-...

    That runs as root not one but three bits of muscle mutable shell scripts from the internet.

    I love me some nix, but the most reproducible package manager should not be install via a hodpodge of directly running scripts from the Internet.

    At the very least they should be vendored as part of the project so you can see when these scripts change.

  3. boxkit

    Build your own custom OCI distrobox container

    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)

  4. ostree

    Not a tanget at all! https://gitlab.com/fedora/ostree/ci-test/ is the current location of the composed images we derive from.

    That's what ends up on quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops/ which is what we use to make our base images.

    Fedora is in the middle of a transition to make more official images on quay.io/fedora, I'm sorry I don't have the info offhand, it's probably in here somewhere: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/tag/silverblue/l/top?pe...
