I could’ve sworn i had seen a post about DKMS on silverblue, but i couldn’t find it anywhere . Last i had heard, DKMS doesn’t work on silverblue yet ? i’m trying to install the driver for a tp-link ac600 wireless usb dongle, and i’m getting read-only filesystem errors . am i missing something here ? how am i supposed to do this ?

You can apply changes temporarily by running sudo rpm-ostree usroverlay first, but the changes will only last for the current boot
You should be able to do all the “building” from a container and then install / load the module on the host. Instructions from https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/1091#issuecomment-729014983 might help.
