OK,<b> </b>I installed Kinoite on VirtualBox. Few things I
discovered:
<ul>
<li>Main images show up as entries in GRUB boot page. Normally,
it would be kernels. Now, it's images. You just select which
images to boot from.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Each image is 7GB, and it adds up. I'm already 17Gb, and I
haven't done much.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><font face="monospace">/etc/passwd</font> and <font
face="monospace">/etc/group</font> in the main image and
inside Toolbox are different. So, devices that I mount will
have different owner/group in the main image and inside
Toolbox. It was pain to resolve all the "Permission denied",
and there are few I'm not gonna bother.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>This "Kinoite" smells like "Chromebook". It's OK for consumer
use case.</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm now compiling few Raspberry Pi kernels... Let's see how it
goes.</p>
<p><b>NOTE</b>:</p>
<p>I think, it's just shifting problems. You now have 2 systems.
You are still doing "<font face="monospace">dnf</font>" inside
Toolbox. How do you deal with Toolbox getting corrupted?</p>
<p>Perhaps, a better solution is to borrow from database. Tag all
items with version number. Then, to rollback, you just go back to
a working version number.</p>
