Hey Colin,

I and several other people use it as a "daily driver"; as
the page
says I think the project is useful for interested technical users, but
there's a whole lot more to do; I just noticed the rpm-ostree plugin
for gnome-software isn't enabled, going to fix that. I'd also really
like to plumb through automatic updates by default.
I had a chat with Owen shortly after the Fedora 27 release, and I'm guessing
the status hasn't changed for folks like myself that need to be able to make
changes to the lower OS layers and have them persist across reboots, correct?
I need to be able to, amongst other things:
- be able to switch kernels independently of the OS installation
- be able to install external kernel modules for particular kernel revisions and
have them persist across reboots
- be able to modify daemons, be it startup scripts, udev/hwdb rules, or binaries
and have them persist across reboots
And unfortunately, most of that work cannot be done in VMs, due to the lack
of hardware passthrough for a lot of the devices I work with, along with the
side effects of having an OS that tries to handle them (that's Bluetooth, USB,
I2C, HDMI/DisplayPort, at least).
Do we have any tracking bugs to collect requirements for that sort of usage, or
is it outside the scope of Atomic Workstation?
Cheers
