  • What requirement would that be?

    I have not used Alma in daily usage.

    I think as a “just works” Workstation it is great, based on the giants, and bootc makes it even more stable.

    By using EPEL, KDE, or even CentOS Stream and Hyperscale packages (which Meta does in production but I can imagine not everyone wants to do), you get more instability. This could be mitigated with the atomic structure.

    Also, instead of full Hyperscale, the COPR kwizart/kernel-longterm could be used, which is the more current, official LTS kernel.


  • Where is the complexity?

    A compose file can literally be

    FROM quay.io/almalinuxorg/almalinux-bootc:9.4
    
    # Add files from same directory
    ADD somefile /etc/somefile
    
    # Add EPEL repository
    RUN dnf install -y epel-release
    
    # Install KDE Desktop environment
    RUN dnf groupinstall -y "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
    
    # Install flatpak, podman, distrobox, and fish
    RUN dnf install -y flatpak podman distrobox fish
    
    RUN systemctl enable sddm
    

    Done, build an ISO, push the images to a registry and you have made your own “distro”. There are at least 3 implementations, on Github, Gitlab and Codeberg, so you can use their individual runners
