Factory reset capability
Android and other established immutable Operating systems have a reset capability, that can be implemented in Fedora Atomic Desktops.
This issue can act as a meta-issuetracker for this feature, collecting the needed steps to perform this action.
- reset /etc securely
- reset used kargs
- reset/delete
/var
including the user directory and all files - change the disk encryption password
- create a new setup mechanism to create a new user, without reinstalling the OS
This is an optional "nice to have" feature, feel free to discuss if it is needed, if there are any challenges involved etc.
Benefits:
- even a machine with a locked BIOS could be repurposed
- no external accessories like USB drives are needed
- very accessible and expected by some users of Android
