From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do you manage your Toolbx on system upgrade? (lemmy.world)

Hi, I've been running Fedora Silverblue since version 39 and with 41 now releasing I feel like it would be wise to finally upgrade my Toolbx container from 39 to 41 too. I didn't change the container when I upgraded to 40 on the OS. I read a bit online and it seemed like the general opinion was that you shouldn't upgrade containers but rather create a new container with the new version.

How do you manage migrating settings (Codium + Extensions, Toolchains etc.) between containers without having to manually recreate everything?

So this isn't really an answer on how to migrate but this solution has worked well for me.

I define the toolboxes config with it, and if it gets destroyed, recreating it is as simple as creating a new one with the same name. You could upgrade or downgrade by just creating a new toolbox with the version you want.

I'm just using Arch in my toolbox. Can't run into upgrade troubles if you run a rolling release system
