These packages are layered directly into the SoltrOS image using RPM-OSTree. They're part of the immutable base system, ensuring reliability and atomic updates.
Unlike Flatpak applications that run in sandboxes, system packages are integrated directly into the operating system image. This provides better system integration, lower overhead, and is essential for core functionality like hardware drivers, audio systems, and development tools.
SoltrOS uses RPM-OSTree for managing system packages. Every update is atomicโeither it fully succeeds or it doesn't apply at all. If something goes wrong, you can always roll back to the previous working state.
