My apologies if there is a better thread for this but I searched and did not 
find. :)

Fedora 29 is out today, and it includes a variant image that is Fedora 
Silverblue -- Fedora Workstation, but with rpm-ostree, immutable root fs, 
containerized apps, etc. This has many security benefits.

While a Subgraph template for Qubes didn't/hasn't yet become stable, it seems 
to me that a Fedora Silverblue template could bring some (not all) of the same 
benefits. It seems like the Silverblue project is heading towards implementing 
a lot of Subgraph-style features into regular Fedora.
