36: The Next Generation of Linux? | Fedora Podcast 36

Fedora Project Podcast

As the popularity of atomic and immutable Linux distros grows, how does Fedora take things to the next level? Short answer: bootc. By learning from containers and cloud native practices that have become standard in the server side Linux world, bootc aims to take things image-based and make the desktop easier to manage for Fedora, downstream projects, and anyone else who wants to make custom images!

The Fedora Podcast features interviews and talks with the people who make the Fedora community awesome! These folks work on new technologies found in Fedora, produce the distro itself, or help put Fedora into the hands of users. There is so much going on in Fedora that it takes a whole podcast series!
