Birdie  

This is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops, the base image is bazzite:stable. This spin adds a few developer tools, quality of life CLI tools. This is my daily driver. It's based on the bluebuild template and built using bluebuild's github actions. It can also be built locally using the bluebuild CLI tool.

 

 

Installation

The recommendation is to install another atomic Fedora distro first, and rebase the existing installation to the latest Birdie build:

• First rebase to the unsigned image, to get the proper signing keys and policies installed:

  rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ogglord/birdie-os:latest
  

• Reboot to complete the rebase:

  systemctl reboot
  

• Then rebase to the signed image, like so:

  rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ogglord/birdie-os:latest
  

• Reboot again to complete the installation

  systemctl reboot
  

• Update the system

  ujust update
  

The latest tag will automatically point to the latest build, updated daily.

ISO

If build on Fedora Atomic, you can generate an offline ISO with the instructions available here. These ISOs cannot unfortunately be distributed on GitHub for free due to large sizes, so for public projects something else has to be used for hosting.

Verification

These images are signed with Sigstore's cosign. You can verify the signature by downloading the cosign.pub file from this repo and running the following command:

cosign verify --key cosign.pub ghcr.io/ogglord/birdie-os

Applications

Default flatpaks

• Floorp
• Inkscape
• VLC
• Discord

Adding new apps should preferably be done using flatpak, nix, distrobox export or AppImages.
