If this was an Android blog, the title would read: Changing /usr Systemlessly!

This looks similar to Magisk for Silverblue. I like it. Like...

Flatpak will not replace RPM, the base OS still needs RPM. Flatpak is only for apps. Even on Silverblue, the immutable OSTree root still uses RPM for...

For Gnome users there are some significant changes, but sure, if your DE is already at the latest version, there's no pressing reason to update. F35 will...

3W may not seem much at first sight, but bear in mind this is the difference on a low-power laptop consuming only 24W. The percentages are 13.9% on GNOME...

I'd guess these are low severity on XWayland (and non-root Xorg) since the whole privilege escalation part isn't possible anyway. Still, it's important...
