JFYI openSUSE now has a MicroOS (transactional system with read-only /)
qcow image¹ suitable for use in qemu that uses systemd-boot. The image
is part of the Tumbleweed development process and automatically released
(ie potentially daily). It's fully integrated with btrfs snapshots and
rollback. As a special gimmick the image automatically encrypts itself
on first boot. Optionally the image can also leverage a TPM or FIDO2 key
to unlock the volume. Still quite WIP so I wouldn't recommend this for
production use. Nevertheless worth trying out to see how a mainstream
distro may leverage the technology.
The image implements what I talked about at ASG². A more detailed
article is available on news.o.o³. Some screenshots in the wiki⁴ and a
video⁵ from openQA for the impatient :-)
A Tumbleweed image with traditional writable file system will follow
soon. That one will be more convenient for development.
The Tumbleweed image is now released as well:
