@TheEvilSkeleton @moshimotsu the issue is not the shell but the direction of the GNOME Apps which are part of the Environment. Plus the issue I have with GNOME OS `just existing*`, but that is up to me. I have to write a blog to really explain this last one 🤗
@mirkobrombin I guess I'll wait to hear your detailed take on GNOME OS once you write the blog post ;). I've had a lot of issues with Vanilla OS with how outdated GNOME is, but also the unclear direction with how containers are pushed and the tooling around them, which were some of the reasons why I went straight to GNOME OS from Silverblue
@TheEvilSkeleton @moshimotsu My issue with GNOME OS is purely "ethical", no idea how it works, not even interested in it. But yeah, I'll say it in a blog
@TheEvilSkeleton @mirkobrombin @moshimotsu It would funny if VanillaOS also end up using mkosi like Phosh xD

@tris @TheEvilSkeleton @moshimotsu no idea what that is 😅
@mirkobrombin @TheEvilSkeleton @moshimotsu https://github.com/systemd/mkosi this one, it is used for making immutable OSes, like around Arch like in the case of KDE Linux. Arch's signstar uses it too: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/signstar-os
@mirkobrombin @TheEvilSkeleton @moshimotsu Seems @danirabbit is also on same boat :P

I wanted to experiment with making Debian mkosi image with @bluca's https://packages.debian.org/sid/main/account-utils and fully SElinuxed like @etbe's system :P
Jun 10, 2026, 12:40 AMWhat filesystem type do you use for mkosi output? iso9660 and cpio don't support SE Linux labels, but Ext*, BTRFS, and XFS do. Getting SE Linux to work with that shouldn't be difficult.
The account-utils-passwd package is interesting, unfortunately it conflicts with lots of other things I need at the moment.
@etbe https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/mkosi.1.html#Supported_output_formats says it support those so I'm planning to test out with ext4 atm but I would like to use btrfs in future. Also see https://vdwaa.nl/mkosi-reproducible-arch-images.html
