Oh, CoreOS Layering looks really useful! I'm using openSUSE MicroOS today on some Raspberry Pi's and a x86_64 server. One reason I picked MicroOS was because it was quite simple to install on Raspberry Pi.

How hard is it to install CoreOS on a Raspberry Pis? Some installation guides on the Internet look quite complex...?

FCOS has support for RPi 4s which works well https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/provision...

For raspberry pi projects, I've used https://fedoraproject.org/iot/ which has some rough edges but is great for runing some podman containers as systemd services. It (and all of fedora IIRC) requires a pi2 or greater (armv7 or v8/aarch64) though.

But I haven't actually tried CoreOS on a pi yet, could be interesting.

I actually use Fedora IOT in my datacenter rack to access my switches over LTE in an oh shit scenario. My uptime on my RPi3 B+ has been fantastic with this flavor of Fedora. I plan on switching over to FCOS on a RPi 4 soon tho.

I'm currently running Fedora IoT on a pi4B, it works very well for its purpose (running containerized services on Podman+Nomad). What does CoreOS offer over IoT?
