As the title and the website say, I’m currently making a distro with the goal that you don’t have to compromise between ease of use + safety and bleeding-edge + performance optimizations.
As I will likely be able to publish the 0.0.1 source code to the GitHub link and the ISO to the website sometime next week, I would like people to be aware of my project so I can have some feedback for further improvements when I release the first version. I have not posted this anywhere else yet, as I value the opinion of this community more than Reddit or whatever.
If you have any questions or any criticism, please voice it, I would love to hear it, good or bad, in the end I want to make a proper OS. (I’ll go to bed now so expect replies to take a few hours from posting.)
My initial idea was to just literally reverse-engineer the way SteamOS does it but when I saw what a mess this was I looked at a few other distros and how Fedora Silverblue used ostree seemed the most intuitive for me to program so yeah, that’s pretty much the reason haha. Are you just asking for clarification or do you think bootc has some advantages that you care to explain? Now would be the perfect time as the only machines running this are my ThinkPad, ThinkCentre and two friends on their spare laptops.

So don’t you think you’ve come full circle and invented Bazzite again?
Haha, good thing to point out, however my plan is to make the second release able to be “unlocked” so you can pretty much treat it like vanilla Arch Linux but with a failsafe atomic way of the updates being applied. Being immutable is just the default configuration. Think of it more like Arch-Atomic but I couldn’t choose that name due to their trademark policy.
