Dusty hit this when working on Fedora CoreOS. IMO we don't need to do the same for a future e.g. `fedora-release-silverblue` as we don't support someone installing it on a non-ostree system. (Note this all only really matters for `--unified-core` on the compose side) Closes: #1473 Approved by: jlebon |

rpm-ostree: A true hybrid image/package system
rpm-ostree combines libostree (an image system), with libdnf (a package system), bringing many of the benefits of both together.
+-----------------------------------------+
| |
| rpm-ostree (daemon + CLI) |
+------> <---------+
| | status, upgrade, rollback, | |
| | pkg layering, initramfs --enable | |

+-----------------|-------------------------+ +-----------------------|-----------------+
| | | |
| libostree (image system) | | libdnf (pkg system) |
| | | |
| C API, hardlink fs trees, system repo, | | ties together libsolv (SAT solver) |
| commits, atomic bootloader swap | | with librepo (RPM repo downloads) |

Features:
- Transactional, background image-based (versioned/checksummed) upgrades
- OS rollback without affecting user data (
/usr
but not/etc
,/var
) via libostree - Client-side package layering (and overrides)
- Easily make your own:

Projects using rpm-ostree
Project Atomic is an umbrella project for delivering upstream container technologies and combined with a minimized, atomically upgradable host system to Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS.
rpm-ostree is the underlying technology for host updates. The headlining project is "Atomic Host", which is a server variant oriented towards running Linux containers using e.g. Kubernetes. However, there is now also a Workstation variant, showing the full generality of the rpm-ostree model.

Talks and media
A number of Project Atomic talks are available; see for example this post which has a bigger collection that also includes talks on containers.
