Understanding bootc: Containerizing Your OS

bootc brings the Docker container layering model to managing host operating systems, treating the base OS as an OCI/Docker container. This allows for atomic, image-based updates, similar to how you'd update an application container. When you update your system, bootc essentially pulls a new OS "image" and swaps it out, ensuring consistency and rollback capabilities. This approach promises simpler, more reliable system management by leveraging familiar container tooling for OS delivery.
