OCI images that you can turn into a full-fledged developer workstation shipping Devbox, Nix, Homebrew, devcontainers and DevPod with one command. Pretty swanky!

    “the next generation cloud-native”

    that’s as far as I got. Cloud native is an immediate, non-negotiable red flag for me

      They need to work on their branding. “Cloud Native” triggers images of subscription services and data mining. But the idea here is that the whole OS and its components are all sort of containerized, so you can just pull pre-configured “cloud” images that are guaranteed to work out of the box to your machine.

    Like most others in this thread, I’m having trouble understanding what this is. Fedora Silverblue with dev-related pre-installed stuff? (rhetorical question)

    Their presentation feels like NixOS. You open their webpage and the entire thing is unclear. If even the target audience doesn’t get it, they probably won’t use it out of their own volition or without hand-holding.

    Dunno if there are Fedora maintainers on the fediverse or reading this thread, but IMO they should tell their BlueFin team to fix the marketing. Most people don’t get what they’re trying to sell.
