Notes on AgenticLinux: the image, atomic updates and rollback, and how the system is put together.
- Why /tmp is not a tmpfs
On AgenticLinux, /tmp is /var/tmp bind-mounted over it. A tmpfs is limited by RAM, and a build that leaves gigabytes in /tmp should not be able to fill it.
- Updates that roll themselves back: bootguard
How AgenticLinux returns to the previous image when a bootc update does not come up healthy: a boot counter armed before the first boot, preflight checks, health checks and a watchdog.
- Introducing AgenticLinux
A bootc-based Linux desktop with the AI agents, Docker, Docker Sandboxes, QEMU/KVM and GPU runtimes already installed, in ten variants on Fedora 44 and CentOS Stream 10.
- AgenticLinux on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
AgenticLinux now runs on the DGX Spark (NVIDIA GB10, aarch64): the NVIDIA 580 driver, claude, codex, opencode and openclaw on a local Qwen 3.8 27B through llmman, and how we installed it over the stock Ubuntu.
- AgenticLinux on Apple Silicon: the 16k variants
The 16k- variants of AgenticLinux are the Fedora 45 variants with a 16 KiB-page kernel and the Asahi project's platform packages. We switched a Mac mini M1 to one, and this is how it is built, how to install it and what we did not test.
