Ignaz Forster: State of transactional-update: soft-reboots and less overlays

Since the last update in 2022 a few new features have accumulated which may be worth highlighting. Let's have a look at a few more more prominent ones: * "apply": A bit controversial, but now it's possible to switch to a new snapshot directly without reboot. This is mainly meant for quick experiments, so let's have a look at the advantages and limitations; * "soft-reboot": A simple feature in systemd that caused a lot of headache to support it properly; * /etc overlays: You think that the overlay setup to store data in /etc is too complex? Let's have a look at alternate approaches. They probably won't be ready for the conference, but it may be a good time to discuss them; * A short summary of other noteworthy changes if you are using a transactional system yourself.
