Many questions by a newbie.

Hello, I have always liked having a central way of handling the setup of my computers. It started off with a dotfiles repository with lots of scripts. However, after discovering ublue and fedora's atomic images I saw a new way of doing things.

I really like the idea of having all my system level modifications be done at one time then propagated across my different machines. It started as three separate images that all came from ublue's container templates, however, I have recently made my own, single repository for all my different images. Most of my info came from the fedora docs on bootc.

However, I have gotten a bit lost and have gathered a lot of questions.

1. Am I using this project as intended by making my own desktop images or should I just go back to scripts?
2. What is zstd:chunked and should I used it? I've seen some issues that it's unsupported by bootc, but that it also drastically shortens update times.
3. What is "rechunking" and how should I use it? I've seen projects such as rechunk and chunkah, however, I am unsure how reliable or good they are. They're also not very documented.
4. Should I use many smaller instructions in my Containerfile or should I do everything in a single "install.sh" script?
5. I have seen talk about the relationship between bootc and ostree. Should I utilize building containers or should I change my setup to use ostree directly instead?

I still feel like I am very new to this whole ecosystem. I am glad for any answers I may get.
