I love Proxmox. I have run it for years. But Proxmox is a distribution. It owns the full machine, and Debian holds it tight. If your infrastructure has moved to Kubernetes, Proxmox becomes a second world. You must maintain it next to the first one.

Corral is my answer to a question I could not put down. The Proxmox experience has a datacenter tree, a create wizard, consoles that open with one click, and VMs beside containers. What if all of it were one static binary? You would point that binary at the infrastructure you have.

Enterprise Linux has a problem with the desktop. RHEL, AlmaLinux and CentOS Stream are made for servers. They are strong, they have a long life, and they are stable to the point of tedium. For a fleet of production hosts, this is correct. But it is not correct for the machine that a developer or an administrator uses each day.

Thus most EL sites use Fedora or Ubuntu on the desktop, and something fully different in the datacenter. The result is two package ecosystems and two update rates. It is also two sets of tickets that ask why the same operation is different on the two systems.

TunaOS closes this gap. It gives you true desktop environments as bootc images. They are built directly on the Enterprise Linux base that your servers use now.

So this is the TunaOS blog. We decided that the project needs one. Commit messages are not the correct place for all of this.
