XFCE Wayland OCI image built with BuildStream — a lightweight, immutable desktop OS image with the XFCE desktop environment.

Part of the TunaOS ecosystem.

Features​

  • Lightweight — XFCE desktop optimized for low-resource systems
  • Immutable — OCI-based, atomic updates via bootc
  • Wayland — modern display protocol
  • BuildStream — reproducible builds from source

Quick Start​

# Pull the image
podman pull ghcr.io/tuna-os/xfce-linux:latest

# Switch an existing bootc system
sudo bootc switch ghcr.io/tuna-os/xfce-linux:latest

Stable release channel​

The first stable channel is published only after the nightly image, matching live ISO, plain install, and LUKS install checks are green. Once promoted, the immutable image is available at:

podman pull ghcr.io/tuna-os/xfce-linux:stable
sudo bootc switch ghcr.io/tuna-os/xfce-linux:stable

The stable live ISO and checksum are published under https://pub-<configured-r2-domain>/xfce-linux/stable/ as xfce-linux-live-latest.iso and xfce-linux-live-latest.iso-CHECKSUM. The promotion workflow verifies both objects before reporting the release ready, so downstream download pages can safely point at those stable names.

Verifying Signatures​

OCI images and live ISOs are signed keylessly with cosign via GitHub Actions OIDC (Sigstore/Fulcio) — no long-lived signing key to leak or rotate.

OCI images:

cosign verify ghcr.io/tuna-os/xfce-linux:latest \
  --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github.com/tuna-os/xfce-linux/\.github/workflows/build-multirunner\.yml@.*' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com

Live ISOs (.sig/.cert are published alongside each dated ISO, e.g. xfce-linux-live-<date>-<sha>.iso.sig):

cosign verify-blob xfce-linux-live-<date>-<sha>.iso \
  --certificate xfce-linux-live-<date>-<sha>.iso.cert \
  --signature xfce-linux-live-<date>-<sha>.iso.sig \
  --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github.com/tuna-os/xfce-linux/\.github/workflows/build-iso\.yml@.*' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
