The build makes image tags as <desktop>[-hardware], against the variant's
registry path (see the variant table in the README).
gnome: GNOME (stable)kde: KDE Plasmacosmic: COSMIC Desktopniri: Niri (tiling Wayland compositor)xfce: XFCE (Wayland experimental)pantheon: Pantheon desktop (elementary OS) — Gurnard variant, experimentalbase: Plain system image with no desktop environment pre-installed (available for most variants)
Append to any desktop suffix:
- (none): Standard generic kernel build
-hwe: Hardware Enablement (newer kernel stack)-nvidia: NVIDIA drivers + CUDA pre-configured-nvidia-hwe: NVIDIA drivers on HWE kernel stack
Example tags: yellowfin:gnome-hwe, albacore:kde-nvidia, marlin:cosmic
Some variants also publish stream-suffixed tags on a sibling variant's path:
ghcr.io/tuna-os/bonito:*-rawhide (Fedora Rawhide) and
ghcr.io/tuna-os/flounder:*-sid (Debian Sid). The full tag scheme and
stability tiers are in VERSIONING.md.
