This is a custom Linux build designed around Fedora's Atomic Desktops and built for bootc, as a community-driven adaptation of the Universal Blue project. These systems are immutable by nature, which means users are actually gated from directly modifying the system, providing an incredibly secure form of interacting with the Linux platform.
Verify the image signature with cosign:

ghcr.io/givensuman/goose:stableYou can download an ISO from the latest GitHub Action Build Artifact. GitHub requires you be logged in to download.
Alternatively, and preferably for most users, you can rebase from any Fedora Atomic image by running the following:
sudo bootc switch --enforce-container-sigpolicy ghcr.io/givensuman/goose:stableA base Fedora image will have a smaller ISO size and give you a more reasonable point to rollback to in the future.
You can layer whatever core packages you like on top of this build. I recommend installing your favorite shell:
rpm-ostree install --apply-live fish
sudo usermod -s $(which fish) $USERAnd then get the rest of your software through flatpak or with nix:
flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.firefoxnix-shell -p \
