today: #Flock2024 all day. lots of great sessions and some good side meetings. enjoyed the keynotes by Pat Riehecky and @npub14yf…dg0x , it was really great that Mark Pearson from #lenovo came out and gave us a couple of great talks, Dan Walsh (rhatdan on The Other Place) did a good talk on #bootc , and the mentorship summit with Amita Sharma and a great panel was as thought provoking as always (except when I'm in it). looking forward to some good hackfests tomorrow!

anaconda is already fairly customizable in this regard, as it has to look like RHEL in RHEL and Fedora in Fedora. I don't recall exactly how it works and it might be a bit fiddly for OEMs, I guess, but it's there.

I suspect maybe Asahi fails this check:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/blob/346da0d84d96657d570964af0b1124ce451216e8/plugins/fedora-pkgdb-collections/gs-plugin-fedora-pkgdb-collections.c#L74
i.e. gnome-software decides this isn't "Fedora", so doesn't activate the Fedora upgrade plugin. It's just a guess, though, I might be wrong. @npub1qk9…azpx might know for sure.

oh, good question. Does Asahi not show a grub menu at all? On my aarch64 test system (which is a Jetson Nano) I still get the grub boot menu after making it through uboot...

sorry to hear your filesystem died. you can get a root console by booting with `systemd.debug-shell=1`and going to tty9. see https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/

"You will literally be swapping to newer and newer container images when you update rather than managing independent packages and dependencies." isn't quite right. IoT was already an atomic release. But it's switched from the original ostree technology to the new bootable OCI container approach. the ultimate user experience is much the same or improved, but the implementation is actually pretty different.
