One base, every desktop
Each Hummingbird flavor ships a different desktop on the same Fedora Hummingbird foundation.
Why Hummingbird
Atomic & rollback-safe
Built on bootc: image-based updates that apply in one transaction and roll back just as cleanly.
Homebrew baked in
Thousands of CLI tools and fonts a `brew install` away — no layering, no rebuilds.
Flathub by default
Full Flathub access out of the box. Install any Flatpak on the net, instantly.
Experimental base
A proving ground for the container-native Fedora Hummingbird base — desktop flavors are still being validated (see the hummingbird desktop gap notes).
Images & flavors
Pull any flavor directly, or grab a live ISO where one's published.
