The Linux operating system has reached a major milestone in its evolution. Adoption of image based architecture and containerization, Linux now has an uncanny level of robustness and the ability to run a vast number of applications and tools. You may have heard the term "immutable Linux" used to describe the new style, but the truth is far more nuanced and layered. Here is the deeper story.
The Era of Atomic Linux explores how desktop Linux is breaking into a new realm, with freedoms and powers far exceeding the other major operating systems. It is ultra reliable and stable, can keep itself updated, and run any application from any distribution. The new Linux has even been called "distroless" as it leaves behind the old concept of distributions.
The Era of Atomic Linux tells the story of how image based Linux was created, the problems it solves, and how it represents a new breakout computing technology. We follow a trend which began among enterprise Linux developers simply trying to make their internet servers and industrial apps more reliable, but ended up remaking a whole operating system!
The author takes you on a journey across several years of changes in Linux as he shifted his daily computing tools from conventional Linux to enjoy the power, security, and versatility of the new image based Linux.
