 Once it's done building, go to your VM running Fedora Atomic and rebase to your newly built image. This is a string that starts with 'rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/', followed by the repo and package name. This can be found by checking the "packages" section in the sidebar of your fork. Take the docker pull command and copy the repo and package reference. Then, append the tag, which is in the format `br-{branchName}-{fedoraVersion}`. Your command should look like this:
 
 ```

+Substantial testing for new changes is done in the `staging` and `next` branches. However, once a commit is merged into `live`, a new set of builds is immediately generated and deployed. As such, the GitHub releases are an informational measure to track progress and communicate changes to users. This is only the case for the secureblue main repo, it isn't the case for Trivalent. For Trivalent, GitHub releases correspond to RPM releases to the RPM repo.

+{: #brew}
+
+Homebrew is a cross-platform package manager originally for MacOS that allows users on Atomic systems to install cli tools without layering and rebooting their system. It also brings with it a recent [independent security audit](https://github.com/trailofbits/publications/blob/master/reviews/2023-08-28-homebrew-securityreview.pdf) and subsequent [actions](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew.sh/blob/master/_posts/2024-07-30-homebrew-security-audit.md?plain=1#L24) taken in response to security findings uncovered by that audit.

+### [Does secureblue use "linux-hardened"?](#linux-hardened)
+{: #linux-hardened}
+
+"linux-hardened" is the brand name for a specific set of kernel patches and builds on top of the mainline kernel, used by some distributions. secureblue doesn't use this kernel. Instead, we apply runtime configuration changes on top of Fedora's kernel. We can accomplish much but not all of what linux-hardened accomplishes using this approach. In the future, we plan to build our own kernel with patches on top of Fedora's kernel, including the [OpenPAX patches](https://github.com/edera-dev/linux-openpax). However, even today there are some important ways in which our approach is preferable. For example, linux-hardened completely disables [unprivileged user namespaces](/articles/userns). This means that to use flatpaks or chromium-based browsers, [suid-root](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid) binaries are required. This is a significant security degradation. secureblue on the other hand implements SELinux-confined unprivileged user namespaces, restricting them by default but allowing them for Flatpaks and Trivalent to enable their operation without suid-root.
