I know this seems appalling, but, thanks to our friends at .ml, we know everything from a nominally socialist nation (with capitalist characteristics such as producing hundreds of billionaires) is justified and good, actually. Hopefully one of them will stop by and explain the specifics.
Does ublue have any plans to do variants of Fedora IoT? CoreOS seems more targeted for cloud than home servers. The ignition file is a benefit if you want to spin up hundreds of servers but a bit of a hindrance if you just starting out at home with a machine or two.
If they are just installing to a single machine and don’t need drivers or kernel mods I’d suggest IoT over bothering with anything CoreOS.
