Pengwings is a wiki which contains random documentation for various Linux things I had to work out.
Documentation is for Fedora Kinoite and derivatives, some alteration might be needed for other distros depending on what the thing is.
rpm-ostree layering vs flatpaks
I don't agree with the concept of "never layer anything because layering is bad". I know there are disadvantages to layering but I prefer to have a working stable system where the packages/software behave as expected. I still think that Atomic Desktop has some benefits over non-atomic which I quite like so I am willing to put up with the layering disadvantages (at least for now).
Flatpaks also have some issues of their own, which so far have been more annoying than layering issues.
Consequently I use rpm-ostree install to layer packages quite liberally (generally if the flatpak has issues or if it makes more sense to me for something to be a system package). This might annoy some people.
