In this Update: Fedora Silverblue, macOS 26, Workloads Foundation, ChatGPT Codex, Kairos Docs Release Automation
Fedora Silverblue First Impressions#
I finally carved out some time to play with Fedora Silverblue and I’m already jotting down notes. I’ll probably publish a proper write-up once I’ve lived with it for a bit longer, but so far the atomic workflow feels surprisingly natural.
macOS 26#
Windows Vista—sorry, macOS 26—is here. I’m neither thrilled nor furious about it. Some design trade-offs feel half-baked, yet it still ships the most polished GUI of the big three. (Yes, I only test GNOME on Linux these days, but I’ve spent plenty of time with other desktops and still think GNOME has the stronger design language.) I’m curious about the improved Spotlight and the new mini VMs, though it’ll take a while to actually try them because most of my day-to-day work still lives on Linux. Maybe it’s time I document how I juggle both platforms.
Expanding My AI Setup#
For code generation I lean on Cursor and let it pick the model it thinks fits best. For everything else I still reach for ChatGPT. Lately I’ve been getting trapped in Cursor loops a bit too often, so I’m bringing ChatGPT Codex into the mix more intentionally—it tends to break me out of ruts even if it takes a couple of attempts.
Workloads Foundation TAG#
I also started attending the new Workloads Foundation TAG. The charter maps out how the group will define best practices and standards around core workload execution—containers, VMs, serverless, Wasm, the works—and deliver guidance like whitepapers and frameworks for CNCF adopters. I’m curious to see what we can ship together, and I hope to bring some of my immutable OS experience into the mix.
Kairos Docs Release Automation#
I’ve been slowly automating the release process for the Kairos docs. Until now every release meant opening a branch, updating the Kairos, kairos-init, k3s, etc. versions by hand, and hoping I didn’t miss anything. I asked Codex to draft a helper script on my machine and it actually did a decent job. There are still quirks to iron out, but we’re inching toward the dream where releasing the docs is just a merge or push to main.
