One of our highlights of 2024 was our work with the GNOME Foundation to make GNOME OS a viable daily driver for QA.

The project included migrating GNOME OS to systemd's new update system — sysupdate — which offers improved benefits such as immutability, auto-updating, and modernised security properties.

You can read the first blog post covering the project here: https://www.codethink.co.uk/articles/2024/GNOME-OS-systemd-sysupdate/

it would have been nice to see more technical benefits of sysupdate rather than "tighter integration with systemd". This argument only really works if you already have faith in systemd.

what about e.g. the reduced complexity of dm_verity + erofs vs the "object store model" of ostree/composefs?
