From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, look at the examples here: https://github.com/coreos/layering-examples for an ansible example.
Though some modules don't work (the flatpak one doesn't work unfortunately). This is also useful: https://github.com/j1mc/ansible-silverblue
Hope it helps!
Thanks a lot, will check your links tonight. I'll try to wrap my head around why Ansible doesn't work OOTB, given Red Hats involvement with Fedora and Ansible. Am I the only who tries to use Silverblue as cattle instead of a desktop pet?!
I was curious and I was able to use ansible to install a list of flatpaks without problem
Very nice, thanks for giving it a try! :-)
No problem. If you can't get it working hit me up and I'll see what I can do to help.
The OCI features are pretty new (they won't hit Fedora until F40) so there's catching up to do still. They'll get there at some point, there's just a vast amount of existing work out there that they need to account for.
