Can you recommend any tutorials or blog posts on some of this? Really interested in it. Otherwise I'll search for it, thanks for the information.

Here are some links for you that I think would be useful for a related setup, however I can't speak for the user that posted that. The headless installation should follow the same principles of using a RAMDisk though. https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_-_Headless_In... https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_Linux_with_root_on_... https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Docker https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki…

Most available userspace seems to be a mix of Rust and Go, except for existing stuff written in C like LinuxSE.

What userspace do you see written in Rust?

So did every other vendor. We have two CoreOSes, Flatcar, Container-Optimized OS from Google, Bottlerocket, k3OS, etc. Fortunately these aren't just different in name; there's a lot of experimentation going on around different ways to do updates, security, etc. I hope we'll eventually see some convergence after a few years.

Two CoreOSes? The one being Fedora CoreOS and the other..?

Not at all happy with things right now. You guys abruptly killed CoreOS which was great and left us to fend for ourselves. Fedora CoreOS doesn’t cut it and we don’t want open shift. We will need to move to either bottle-rocket or flatcar. A team member evaluated both and we leaning towards b-rocket since flatcar has a higher risk of dying by running out of funding during COVID (seen this movie before with CoreOS). Am…

What does not cut it in Fedora CoreOS ? (Just Curious as a Fedora contributor) Also what could be improved ?

    1. update wasn't possible - that basically means that customers can't count on you
    2. some decisions favored OpenShift instead of being general purpose
    3. you rebuild the whole stack?! from scratch?! 
    4. the documentation is twice as bad as from CoreOS (which was already pretty bad)
    5. the market now has more to offer, way better solutions. Fedora CoreOS is basically just a rebuild CoreOS that brings nothing new to the table and shaken up all customers. if I need to reinstall my nodes anyway I can evaluate k3os, bottlerocket, opensuse microos, rancher, whatever which didn't sleeped while you guys did rebuild your stuff.
