You know, immutable enterprise systems.

I installed HeliumOS (Almalinux bootc) on a corebooted Chromebook. Works really well, but audio needs to be configured.

The script needs a recent python which is not available there.

Go and rust can be installed for a user only. Is there something similar for python?

Not familiar with HeliumOS specifically, but for a generic atomic distro I would try layering Python temporarily, and then getting rid of it when you're done.

Loooool

I thought there was no rpm-ostree but there is.

Well, lets layer some stuff!

I see from the github ticket you need 3.10 .

There's an EPEL clone, apparently, that bundles a python3.10 package.

MAYBE this is your process:

yum* install dnf-plugins-core
yum config-manager --add-repo=https://pkgs.dyn.su/el9/base/x86_64/
yum install python3.10

Then use it like /usr/bin/python3.10 . Remove it and the repo after.

*I avoid using DidNotFinish(dnf) even though I know it's an alias.

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.
