Configuration packages are merged together to configure the system, examples: - SKIFF CONFIG=intel/desktop,core/fedora - run Fedora desktop on a amd64 PC - SKIFF CONFIG=pi/4,core/debian - run Debian desktop on a Raspberry Pi 4. - SKIFF CONFIG=virt/qemu,custom/config - run a custom config in a Qemu VM. There is a [project template] you can use for version-controlled customizations. Linux devices have varying requirements for kernel, firmware, and other hardware support packages. SkiffOS decouples this support from the containerized environments. The containers are portable across devices with the same CPU architecture, while ordinary OS images (Board Support Packages) are not. Supports [any Linux-compatible computer], ranging from [RPi], [Odroid], [NVIDIA Jetson], to [Desktop PCs], Laptops (i.e. [Apple MacBook]), [Phones], [Cloud VMs], and even [Web Browsers].
