Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Bootc is coming into the CNCF as sandbox: https://github.com/containers/bootc
The big feature here is that it is an OCI container image, but it includes a kernel and operating system, so they are designed to be a full OS vs. a application container.

Describe the solution you'd like
A category for bootc enabled images, bootc sounds great as a slug with "Bootable Containers" being the descriptive text.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We can just list them under containers, however it'd be useful to list the ones that are bootable since they are designed to be splatted onto instances and hardware.

Additional context
In the future we may want to think about a way to signify base images, I'd love to approach CentOS for example and have them publish base images directly.

Support for bootable containers is ready @castrojo 🙂

You can see it in action in the staging environment, we'll deploy it to production soon.

https://staging.artifacthub.io/packages/search?kind=27
https://staging.artifacthub.io/docs/topics/repositories/bootable-containers/

We've created a fork of the achillobator repository to include the Artifact Hub metadata file and test it. Feel free to experiment with your own repository if you'd like. You can find more details about the structure Artifact Hub expects in the Bootable containers documentation. We can also highlight custom annotations for the bootc kind in the UI if there is something special you'd like to display (i.e. https://artifacthub.io/docs/topics/annotations/kubewarden/).

The list below contains some examples of how other projects organize the Artifact Hub metadata for their artifacts (they can be quite helpful for inspiration 😇):

Feel free to ping us if you have any question or something doesn't work as expected!
