| Since the launch of Fedora 41, Fedora IoT has supported bootable containers (bootc). | ||
| Bootable containers are similar in function to other containers (like Podman), but allow the user to boot into the container as an immutable system. | ||
| Any updates or package installs are then layered on top of the base bootc image, allowing rollbacks in the event of an issue. | ||
| Each bootc image ships with a kernel, bootloader, drivers, etc, rendering them fully bootable and not requiring a container manager (Podman, Kubernetes, etc). |

This is a bit weird, you would/could still use a container manager such as podman to maintain applications, the container in the bootc case is mechanism for maintaining the base OS.

That is incorrect, you use dnf.

| The following can be used to ensure the image has been downloaded and set for boot. |

Please put an example output here rather than saying "Look for XXX"
| Also, check that the `rollbackQueued:` field shows `true`. | ||
