BengalOS provides immutable and mutable images for Phosh's nightly package builds. The immutable variants support A/B updates and are thus safe to upgrade and give a more phone-like upgrade experience.
All of BengalOS is currently experimental, we might make incompatible changes at any time.
Immutable BengalOS images provide atomic A/B updates and are designed for a phone-like upgrade experience.

Mutable images behave like a traditional Linux system and are easier to customize and modify locally.
Immutable images can be used on different targets. Choose the installation instructions matching the image you downloaded.
