Fedora 44 GNOME Bootc tailored for MacBook Air A1466
I picked up a cheap MacBook Air A1466 recently and wanted to see how far I could push the new bootc workflow on this hardware. While immutable Fedora isn't a new concept, using a container-native image to solve the “MacBook driver hell” definitely feels like the way forward.
Instead of manually layering kmods on every install, I’ve baked the Broadcom Wi-Fi, FaceTimeHD webcam, and thermal fixes directly into the image during the container build.
The whole project is just a Containerfile, so even though it has my personal preferences, it’s trivial to fork and customize the package list or scripts to fit your own needs.
If you're rocking an A1466 and want to try a bootc rebase that “just works” on this hardware, feel free to check out the repo.
