## Current issues (from Bluefin)

Notes after installation from ISO:

- Need to set all flatpaks, adding flatpak module resets all of standard ones.

- Grub config does not apply.

- Overall, rebasing from original ublue images works better.

- Consider moving to UBlue build template.

Ghostty RPM install conflicts with its own terminfo file from ncurses. Awaiting fixes.

Crossover apparently _really_ doesn't like being installed on readonly filesystem, any operation with existing bottles results in hang up. Importing archived bottles work, though. For creating new bottles install a copy into distrobox
