Experiment to see if Bootc could work on Arch Linux. And it does! With the composefs-backend :)

Its Arch! Its Bootc! Its cool!

In order to get a running arch-bootc system you can run the following steps:

just build-containerfile # This will build the containerfile and all the dependencies you need
just generate-bootable-image # Generates a bootable image for you using bootc!

Then you can run the bootable.img as your boot disk in your preferred hypervisor.

• mount /dev/vda2 /sysroot/boot - You need this to get bootc status and other stuff working (/dev/vda2 is your ESP)
