We also have a GUI for trying this out!
https://github.com/podman-desktop/extension-bootc
We’re also starting to see other projects adopt a “OS as a Container image” such as Bazzite: https://bazzite.gg/ using bootc :)
Feel free to ask any questions!
Why swap from the OSTree storage to OCI? Doesn't that negate the space saving offered by OSTree having a content addressable store.
By using zstd:chunked, we get those atomic diffs at each layer using an enabled container registry. So diffs are still over the wire.
