Joshua Strobl, a key contributor to the Budgie project, has published a proposal to include Fedora Onyx, an atomically updatable variant of Fedora Linux with a Budgie custom environment, that complements the classic Fedora Budgie Spin build and is reminiscent of the Fedora Silverblue, Fedora Sericea, and Fedora Kinoite editions, in official builds. , shipped with GNOME, Sway and KDE. Fedora Onyx is proposed to ship starting with Fedora Linux 39, but the proposal has not yet been reviewed by the FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), which is responsible for the technical part of the development of the Fedora distribution.
Fedora Onyx is based on Fedora Silverblue technologies and also comes in the form of a monolithic image that is not packaged and upgraded atomically through replacement as a whole. The base environment is built from the official Fedora RPMs using the rpm-ostree toolkit and mounted in read-only mode. To install and update additional applications, the flatpak self-contained package system is used, with which applications are separated from the main system and run in a separate container.
