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
