+
+[rpm-ostree](https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree) is used by the
+Fedora-derived operating systems listed above. It is a full hybrid
+image/package system. By default it uses libostree to atomically replicate a base OS
+(all dependency resolution is done on the server), but it supports "package layering", where
additional RPMs can be layered on top of the base. This brings a "best of both worlds""
model for image and package systems.

[flatpak](https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak) uses libostree for desktop
application containers. Unlike most of the other systems here, flatpak does not
use the "libostree host system" aspects (e.g. bootloader management), just the
"git-like hardlink dedup". For example, flatpak supports a per-user OSTree
repository.
