Eternal Images

Note

This project should not be consumed directly by anyone. It should be used as a reference when building your own images. This is my opinionated image and includes everything I use for day-to-day tasks, plus is used for testing new features before contributing them to Universal Blue.

Interested users are advised to consume images from Universal Blue instead due to the larger community of maintainers and committment to providing support for their images. They also provide guidance on creating your own image.

A collection of Immutable Linux Desktop images from the Eternal Linux project. All images provided are highly opinionated and represent my personal preferences for a Linux desktop. Feel free to clone and modify these images to suit your own needs.

You can either setup Lumina by installing the ISO (linked in the table above) or rebase through an existing Fedora Atomic Desktop installation. To rebase to the image, you will need to have pre-installed a Fedora Atomic Desktop and run the following commands:
