1 year ago Wanted to note that ostree should use delta updates, so it wouldn't download an entire new image, only the binaries that changed across versions. Flatpak does the same thing, as it has ostree as the backend.
basically ostree is git for binaries
well, this is assuming that you decide to use ostree for immutability
This might be beneficial for stability.
Since (my) workflow will be mostly based off of containers, it wouldn't make much difference.
And the distribution wouldnt lose customizability over this since you would able to build images yourself with custom packages, files, and configuration.
My main concern is the efficiency with this method. New images would have to be downloaded for updates, and i dont like that it will download the whole image everytime i need to update.
But there may be a way to fix that.
