Heya legends. I wasn’t sure if this belongs in General or Kinoite, seeing as my goal here is probably closer to upstream.
I have just checked the wiki on this site of custom images, but didn’t quite see what I was looking for but got some ideas…
Goal: A KDE Plasma image that is basically a lightweight version of Aurora? Much closer to upstream Kinoite. Basic, minimal batteries included, going for that “Chromebook” use case with only basic PC usage required, browser, codecs, auto updates of flatpaks, automatic staging, but possibly utilising the ostree “apply” instead of stage option to schedule weekly reboots into the new image. This PC would be living in suspend, never getting shut down, so possibly need a wake up timer, then run the apply on the new image…?
I don’t want any container or dev specific batteries or jazz, that even the non-dev aurora still seems to have, just basic AF, “can’t break it” type deal!
Would people please suggest if the base image is adequate as is, as I see on that particular page, it is suggested not to be used as is, but doesn’t say why? Or should I fork Aurora and rip the guts out of it?!
Also, my parent’s are currently on stock fedora kinoite, but i thought updates were automatic when i installed it so will be rebasing into u-blue at this stage. Was going to put an override conf on timer and change from check to stage, but I then run into the issue of manually needing to rebase from one fedora version to the next…
I am currently career changing into web/ software dev, so i have looked at the github image creation template, but haven’t quite grasped the instructions of it yet. Will keep at it though!
Thanks in advance to anyone who might have some insight, tips and suggestions.
