some questions to gnome os developers

I recently read about that there is work happening to make gnome os as daily driver.

Gnome os is uses freedesktop sdk as base and build whole image from upstream code using buildstream.

Because this os image dont have any individual binary package concept like fedora silverblue, here are some of my questions:

  1. How updates are handled for small security fixes?

For example if we need to fix a critical security issue in linux kernel, because their is no individual linux kernel rpm in gnome os, does it have to build whole os image for this security issue, does users need to download whole image just this security update?

  1. How different software update handled?

linux kernel, mesa and other packages have different release time, does gnomes release everytime a new package get update or it handled monthly or 6 month cycle release with major gnome version.

in simple terms does updates are rolling release or freezed like steam os and released in fixed time intervals?

  1. Does it have app armor or selinux enabled?

  2. does in this build method we dont have any dependency hell issue?

Gnome is an opinionated desktop, It provide a very minimal and simple desktop experience but it also provide a very powerful extension ecosystem for enhancing further experience.

For people like me, who prefer simplicity and design, GNOME is the way.

isn't it some irony that we start learning fundamental mathematics in higher mathematics.

we learn numbers, addition in elementary school, calculus in high school and then learn their foundations, number theory, real analysis in college.

we learn fundamentals in higher mathematics.

numbers, addition, these are not defined in elementary mathematics, we learn about them in higher mathematics through axioms.
