Creating a boot-repair-disk for encrypted partitions and the different variations of each distro
Currently only a few distros have boot-repair-disk, and I believe it is necessary for each distro to maintain its own boot-repair-disk when the boot is corrupted. (for the distro – windows – mac – etc.)
Create a custom installation for each variant of the distro.
For example, it seems that, kinoite, does not allow (for the moment) a manual installation, and if it is installed manually the boot is erased (minimal bash), and it is a serious problem for those who are not computer experts… the issue is aggravated if the partitions are encrypted… so, that anaconda installer should at least give a warning (or not allow) manual partitions for kinoite (in this case, at the moment)
I interpret a suggestion, Although I also interpret the LiveUSB as such a tool.
I can be wrong on both counts.
At the moment, the Atomic OS’s do not offer much in the space of customization, this includes boot loaders. It is a feature/bug of the current rpm-ostree implementation.
So a Live Environment altogether would not work either.
I agree there should be a slightly different experience with the Installer for Atomic spins, as there’s no feature parity with Workstation or Everything. This also ties in with not having a LiveUSB, as you cannot modify your Luks key/Container iterations--hash--key-file in the installer due to the lack of Live Environment.
Having a recovery partition if maybe with btrfs or ext4 or xfs and which can initiate a boot repair process without having a repair usb.
If os unable to boot it is capable of reinstalling the whole os and keeping the files(home).
Also some partial fix is always appreciated like maybe kernel is broken in that case it can change the kernel and so on.
And the recovery partition will be updated with ostree and dnf maybe recovery will keep a lts kernel with a whole os as a recovery partition.
If boot loader failed to boot it can provide a fix option maybe with a button or a basic commend or so.
