many recorded talks here, too many to list here, but worth it!

Dario Faggioli

excellent introduction video that covers lots of tips and tricks.

older video but an excellent review of the major components

Xe

A utility which provides full immutability and atomicity to a Linux system, by transacting between two root filesystems. Updates are performed using OCI images, to ensure that the system is always in a consistent state.

apt2ostree is used for building Debian/Ubuntu based ostree images. It performs the same task as debootstrap/multistrap but the output is an ostree tree rather than a rootfs in a directory.

Toolkit for building, deploying and maintaining immutable, atomic, btrfs-based systems

Transactional, in-place operating system updates using OCI/Docker container images.

Distribution-independent updates for bootloaders.

A toolkit which allows container images to be bootable in VMs, baremetals, embedded devices, and much more. Elemental and derivatives share a common feature set, can be upgraded with a A/B mechanism, and upgrades are delivered with standard container registries.

a collection of container images for usage with the toolbox command. This is an attempt at providing more feature parity with regard to toolboxes for distributions other than Fedora.

a utility for software deployment and package management for Linux. It is advertised as offering a sandbox environment in which users can run application software in isolation from the rest of the system.

This neat extension lets you see what containers you have, start/stop/restart, pause, and shell into them right from the notification area.

My personal all-time favorite tech whitepaper about operating systems. You could take imperative configurations tools (Containerfiles/Dockerfiles, Ansible, …) as example for convergent system configuration tools, while declarative configurations tools (Nix, Guix) would be examples of Convergent system configuration tools
