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.

It seems mostly a lack of understanding on my part.
I have a quite customized Debian setup (Ansible script grown over 10 years now), much more elaborate than just installing a handful of packages from the default repositories. With Ansible, I figured out how automate all but everything, setting up one of my desktops is typing one command, getting a coffee and stuff just works.
For Silverblue now, it looks like the way to configure/use it is a mix of rpm-ostree, overlays, installing applications into toolbox containers (and moving their desktop files to the host system) ... in theory, it sounds like a very nice separation/clean, in practice it sounds like a lot of work to arrive where I am right now with Debian.
So... my big question: Has anyone using Silverblue an elaborate custom setup and an easy way to automate it to create cattle... or is Silverblue more like a pet thingy.
