Explore bootc technology and learn to create custom Linux distributions using container-native approaches in this 41-minute conference talk from DevConf.IN 2026. Discover how bootc transforms traditional OS building by leveraging familiar container-building techniques to convert OCI images into bootable, updatable Linux systems. Master the use of Podman Desktop as a cross-platform environment that simplifies bootc workflows through its intuitive UI and built-in extensions, enabling development on Linux, macOS, and Windows without specialized tooling or deep OS knowledge. Walk through the complete process of building custom Linux OS images from scratch, testing bootable images locally using the bootc plugin in Podman Desktop, and implementing best practices for OS versioning, updates, and reproducibility. Understand how this modern, declarative approach makes custom Linux distribution creation accessible to developers while maintaining reproducible, immutable, and automated system images that can be built, tested, and published directly from your workstation.
