In my opinion, it should not be a matter of either (installers) or (ready-made images). Both have their justification in my opinion. The installer is of course more "mainline" to the way a classic distribution is installed on a PC. Certainly useful for the "home server user". But in the embedded area where it is more about devices with a defined functionality / behavior, I find tools like vmdb2 to create reproducible images that do not require manual installation very important. As a starting point for the development of such devices I find the repo from Gunnar, Diederik and Co. very useful and important. Best regards, Matthias
