Linux distributions, lifecycles, and containers
summary
Fedora introduces DNF module install streams so the distro ships multiple supported versions (example: Node.js 8 and 10 streams) as logical modules with independent lifecycles, defaults, and install profiles (MongoDB server/client), while keeping packages native. Builder produces minimal app containers from those modules and rpm-ostree-backed systems (Fedora CoreOS / Silverblue) deliver atomic image updates and rollbacks. Modules replace colliding packages, cannot install two streams of the same module concurrently.
