is this another case of "something that nix already definitively solves, but for the rest of us"?
Yeah, systemd's particleOS relies on it. Pretty neat stuff
Does this work for Raspberry Pi? Say for example I wanted to make an image that would auto-connect to my Tailscale network, or pre-install some software, would this be able to achieve that?
Use RPIOS [pi-gen](https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen), it's pretty versatile and stupid simple, I could not wrap my head around Yocto and Buildroot. Even set it up in CI so GitHub would build the image and id just get the final tar.gz file as an artifact.

It's all just bash scripts and you can basically strip the entire image down. I had no window manager and no display server I was using DRM to show my UI.

Balena could do that for you. You make a usb stick for a fleet and anything flashed with the stick joins the fleet and downloads the latest release.

The releases are dockers via docker compose. You can manage all devices via a web interface too.

I really wish this worked for raspberry pi
