Who: Robert Detjens What: Immutable Atomic Desktop Linux Where: 1930 SW 4th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97201-5304, Room 86-01 When: Thursday, February 6, 2025 at 7 PM Why: The pursuit of technology freedom Summary: Fedora has been experimenting with immutable, OSTree-based versions (https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops) as a new paradigm for the Linux desktop, focused more on containers and Flatpaks instead of traditional package management. What does any of this jargon mean, and how did they replace the package manager? I'll explain what this is all about, from the underlying technology up to how I use this for taking the headaches out of managing my developer workstation. Bio: Robert Detjens has been hands-on with Linux ever since re-flashing his high school Chromebook. Through college, he discovered a love for sysadmin and cybersecurity in OSU's LUG, Security Club, and Open Source Lab. These days, Robert is a CloudOps Engineer for The Linux Foundation and keeps a homelab full of old servers at home to experiment with. Venue: PLUG is back at Portland State University. Thanks to the Computer Science Department and to Andrew Greenberg for hosting us! The room is in the basement of the PSU Engineering Building (also connected underground to the Fourth Avenue Building, or FAB). Enter through the Engineering Building. The outside door will be locked, but there should be someone present at the entrance to let you in starting at 6:40pm until 7pm. There will be a sign on the door with a phone number you can SMS if there isn't someone there to let you in immediately. PS: We are going to need a volunteer to hang out by the outside door until start time to let people in, let me know if you are willing to do that. Thanks! -- Russell Senior PLUG Volunteer [email protected]
