Awesome Atomic

A curated knowledge base about atomic, image-based Linux systems, collecting introductory writing, talks and a list of immutable and declarative distributions.

Awesome Atomic

Awesome Atomic collects introductory blog posts and publications explaining atomic and immutable operating systems, including a comparison of imperative configuration tools such as Dockerfiles and Ansible against declarative, convergent tools such as Nix and Guix. It also links a set of talks and videos about projects like Fedora Silverblue, openSUSE MicroOS and Kairos.

The list's main body is a set of atomic and immutable Linux distributions, organized by project, that readers can explore as alternatives to a traditional mutable Linux desktop or server.

It is released under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.
