As to my knowledge it’s not about space (there is no difference in this respect), it's about strikt separation of system and user data, containment in the event of a file system failure, and opportunities and simplification of recovery. ... > So the same model works totally fine for both desktop and > server.

That’s fine for me. Practically, this means putting that plan on hold for the next 10 or so Fedora releases. For this time, we should come up with something else to easily set up a Fedora Server VM in Fedora Server as a transitional measure. Maybe the ARM disk image for SBC's would be a good starting point. This disk image already offers an almost perfect implementation of the structure and concept of Fedora Server Edition, at least much closer than the current Cloud Base disk image. Their composition script might be a good starting point if you leave off the hardware specific parts. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
