Key reasons for the change:

- Better mix of asynchronous conversations mixed with live chat
- Improved reliability
- Remains open source

We look forward to seeing you there!

My quick testing on this, I was seeing significantly faster speeds downloading the ISO and moss downloads were also going quicker as well. I'm based in UK and we also have our CDN. Performance will be based on a number of variables.

All in all, these are some nice project updates, demonstrating our commitment to achieving our goals and working towards an eventual stable release of AerynOS.

Separately, exploratory work has begun looking to develop AerynOS as an immutable distribution. For context, AerynOS is currently an atomic distribution, but not yet immutable

We have successfully used composefs to create an immutable image from a moss blit state which has successfully been mounted

We would stress that this is very initial work and is helping the team to identify how this development worksteam should continue. By way of example, we may not use composefs and instead move to making our own eorfs images as moss already has it's own deduplicated hardlink cache.

If you're at all interested in Linux distribution development or more generally in Rust projects, please feel welcome to drop by our Matrix space (matrix.to#/#aerynos:ma...) or our GitHub organisation (github.com/AerynOS).
