BOS opts in to bakery's system prefix so desktop apps live on @ and ride snapper/grub-btrfs snapshots. The builder home stays ~/.local; build-local.sh copies bins, share/data, and user units onto the image. Per-user installed.json and the index cache stay in skel. Recovery is still grub-btrfs, not snapper rollback.

Hardware and recovery
GPUs
BOS ships the generic Mesa stack. AMD and Intel work out of the box.
NVIDIA is unsupported. The proprietary driver is not included, NVIDIA
firmware is not on the image, and there is no Hyprland NVIDIA env wiring.
Installing nvidia / nvidia-utils after the fact is not a product path.
On first graphical login, bos-first-boot probes lspci / /proc and,
if an NVIDIA GPU is present, writes ~/.local/state/bos/nvidia-offer.json
and notifies that the proprietary driver is not on the ISO. It does not
install anything. bos-settings can grow a panel that reads that file later.
The same probe leaves a HiDPI hint at ~/.local/state/bos/hidpi-hint.json
when scale > 1 or the panel is dense; it never rewrites monitors.json.
A VM without /dev/dri gets a notification only.
Recovery
An update that breaks the system is recovered from the GRUB "snapshots"
submenu (grub-btrfs), not snapper rollback.
BOS GRUB pins rootflags=subvol=@. snapper rollback swaps the default
subvolume; the installed grub.cfg will still boot @. Pick the grub-btrfs
entry so the kernel command line matches the snapshot you want. Bakery
desktop apps live under /usr/local on @, so those same snapshots
include them.
If the system will not boot (lost EFI entry / broken GRUB), boot the live
ISO and run sudo bos-rescue. It mounts @ + the ESP and offers the same
grub-install NVRAM + --removable sequence as post-install.sh.
A/B root swapping is not implemented. See the README Recovery section.
