System
Atomic Updates

Comes with a simple "Update Scaleclaw" program for manual "ujust"-style updates, and an auto-updating upstream.

Installer
Branded ISO

Anaconda installer with dark mode and Scaleclaw branding applied. Taken from Fedora Silverblue upstream.

Apps
Flatpak Ready

Brings the typical Universal Blue experience, but with GNOME Software instead of Bazaar for Flathub/Flatpaks.

Generate An ISO

Build the image locally, generate the installer ISO, and boot it from a virtual machine or real hardware.

FOR DEVELOPERS

From source to bootable media

Scaleclaw uses bootc-image-builder through the repo's `Justfile`. The generated installer lands at output/bootiso/install.iso.
