From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any actual guide on how to use ostree to make a DIY style immutable distro? (lemmy.zip)

I don't really understand how ostree works from a use standpoint. What I am looking to do is create a custom immutable Linux where I make a filesystem image and then devices can pull the image if I make changes upstream I'm looking for a way to update a local image.

So basically I'm wanting to create some sort of OStree repo. I know rpm-ostree exists but I want something that is more distro agnostic. (I want to use Debian and maybe gentoo as the base)
