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.

When you say "boot," do you mean that your computer started but didn't start the OS?
And yes, I believe that's the correct command to pin an image. It's either that or
1
. As you update, it will eventually become image3
and just live there until you unpin it.Ostree: 0 caused the kernel panic, but in grub I selected ostree: 1 (I rolled back to a previous update) and was able to get to the desktop like expected. Boot is the wrong term, sorry.
Yeah you'd want to pin whatever image number you're using. You're basically saying, "Yeah, #1 is the good one I want to save for later."
ETA: the rollback command does two things:
I cannot recall if you will have to rebase back to the upstream build to start getting updates again or not. I think you will, but double check.
