It is my opinion that this section should be removed from the main site. It creates confusion and we really should be pushing folks towards using our main downstream projects which are Bluefin, Bazzite, and Ucore (and any other downstreams we intend to adopt).

Having folks rpm-ostree rebase from silverblue is not something we are recommending anymore anyway.

Is this a proposal? ;-)

I'm not really sure on that to be honest. It could be if we think it would be valid to get more input than just @KyleGospo and the rest of us in this issue.

To provide a differing opinion: I think the base images are also valuable to use directly for end users who don't want all the cool custom things about Bazzite or Bluefin etc., so documentation for installing or rebasing to them should probably exist somewhere.

I think the intention is for us to have documentation for how create your own image from one of the base images from a template repo (like we discussed in the Starting Point split). This should avoid the confusion of folks using base images in the first place. I don't think base images should be one of the main things promoted on the site personally. It overwhelms a new user with too much choice.

+1, should be replaced with project links instead which will do a better job of directing people to images and ISOs and be more up to date.

Main isn't the end product.

Let's get the ISOs in shape, tested and announced so that the call to action is clear and upfront. I'll work on this the next few days. Let's timebox this to say, sunday the 25th? That way we can merge the startingpoint migration and this cleanup in one go?

Well, now I'm glad I didn't find time to fix it up. :-)
