You want a Clean Desktop OS? Containerize it
FOSDEM 2018

Containers are all the rage, alongside cloud and DevOps. Sometimes they also induce rage. In this talk, we will take a look at using Fedora Atomic on your desktop, when it makes sense, and what the potential benefits vs drawbacks of having a container-based OS on your desktop are for you as a developer.

You will learn:

  • what Atomic Host is
  • how it compares to CoreOS
  • that you can use container-based OS on your desktop machine as well
  • if and why that makes sense from a developer's perspective
  • how to do it effectively

The talk is beginner-friendly, but some existing knowledge of containers is advised.
