Writes about immutable Linux desktops, including Fedora Silverblue, openSUSE MicroOS and Project Bluefin, along with Homebrew on Linux and containers.
HN commenters point to it for Bluefin and uBlue background, Homebrew on Linux, the disk space myth, and toolbox and Distrobox advice.
This is a tangent, but do you have a resource/link to where the base image is defined?
For example I saw that in your blog [1] you used the base on line 1 `FROM ghcr.io/cgwalters/fedora-silverblue:37`.
I was wondering where I could find the Containerfile for that, my Google-fu and searching through the Fedora pages are failing me

Tried in a VM. Seems to work, but needs more evaluation to see how it works in real life. You can even make a Distrobox the default in your terminal.
The disk space thing is a myth, once you start to install apps people actually use it ends up being about the same.
If you test it with VMs you can check it out for yourself: https://www.ypsidanger.com/wasting-disk-space/

Use brew on Linux!
