Also, if there’s anything wrong with the currently booted image, you can easily reboot/rollback to the previous working one, if available. The only thing you need to do is to restart into the new image. It’s more robust as the updates of the system are atomic. Why use Silverblue?īecause it allows you to concentrate on your work and not on the operating system you’re running. It atomically replicates a base OS and allows the user to “layer” the traditional RPM on top of the base OS if needed. OSTree is used by rpm-ostree, a hybrid package/image based system that Silverblue uses. OSTree or libostree is a project that combines a “git-like” model for committing and downloading bootable filesystem trees, together with a layer to deploy them and manage the bootloader configuration. One could think of it as a new take on Fedora’s blue branding, and could be used in phrases like “Go, Team Silverblue!” or “Want to join the team and improve Silverblue?”. In the end Silverblue was chosen because it had an available domain as well as the social network accounts. There were over 150 words or word combinations reviewed in the process. It was chosen after roughly two months when the project, previously known as Atomic Workstation was rebranded. “Team Silverblue” or “Silverblue” in short doesn’t have any hidden meaning. The main benefits of the system are speed, security, atomic updates and immutability. The operating system is delivered in images that are created by utilizing the rpm-ostree project.
