I use Fedora Kinoite daily and find it to be the only OS to make sense really.
I find Fedora CoreOS totally confusing (with that ignition file, no anaconda, no user password by default, like how would I set this up anywhere I dont have filesystem access to?)
But there are alternatives. I would like to build my own hardened Fedora server image that can be deployed anywhere (i.e. any PC to turn into a secure and easy out-of-the-box server).
As modern server often uses containers anyways, I think an atomic server only makes sense, as damn Debian is just a pain to use.
Experiences, recommendations?
Yep, and thats all cloud-first I suppose. It sounds cool but you need to create an ignition file (which sounds very possible) but then you need to get that to a server that doesnt yet have a user account.
I dont understand anything of that. I dont think mounting a drive with that file is possible everywhere, and how do you setup LUKS?
Just no. I see if IOT is actually atomic but normal.
Like, just use a cli installer that can load a file to automate it. Or have a backup user password. There is an issue that addressed this, its old and closed, yeah.
