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 brings you exclusive interviews and deep dives with the innovators and contributors who make the Fedora community amazing! From cutting-edge technologies to the production of the Fedora distro itself, we chat with the minds behind it all. Whether you're a longtime user or just curious, there’s always something new to discover in the world of Fedora.
