Stable images are missing for HWE variants

[ledif]

I ran into this while testing #93.

It seems like all of the HWE variants have latest tags but none of them have stable or stable-daily tags, which means folks using hardware enablement won't be able to have the same stable experience.

These images/tags do not exist:

MISSING: aurora-hwe:stable
MISSING: aurora-hwe:stable-daily
MISSING: aurora-dx-hwe:stable
MISSING: aurora-dx-hwe:stable-daily
MISSING: aurora-hwe-nvidia:stable
MISSING: aurora-hwe-nvidia:stable-daily
MISSING: aurora-dx-hwe-nvidia:stable
MISSING: aurora-dx-hwe-nvidia:stable-daily
MISSING: aurora-hwe-nvidia-open:stable
MISSING: aurora-hwe-nvidia-open:stable-daily
MISSING: aurora-dx-hwe-nvidia-open:stable
MISSING: aurora-dx-hwe-nvidia-open:stable-daily

These are the images/tags that we do have

FOUND: aurora:stable
FOUND: aurora:stable-daily
FOUND: aurora:latest
FOUND: aurora-dx:stable
FOUND: aurora-dx:stable-daily
FOUND: aurora-dx:latest
FOUND: aurora-hwe:latest
FOUND: aurora-dx-hwe:latest
FOUND: aurora-hwe-nvidia:latest
FOUND: aurora-dx-hwe-nvidia:latest
FOUND: aurora-hwe-nvidia-open:latest
FOUND: aurora-dx-hwe-nvidia-open:latest
FOUND: aurora-nvidia:stable
FOUND: aurora-nvidia:stable-daily
FOUND: aurora-nvidia:latest
FOUND: aurora-dx-nvidia:stable
FOUND: aurora-dx-nvidia:stable-daily
FOUND: aurora-dx-nvidia:latest
FOUND: aurora-nvidia-open:stable
FOUND: aurora-nvidia-open:stable-daily
FOUND: aurora-nvidia-open:latest
FOUND: aurora-dx-nvidia-open:stable
FOUND: aurora-dx-nvidia-open:stable-daily
FOUND: aurora-dx-nvidia-open:latest

Here is the script I used to test what is available and what is not:

#!/bin/bash

HWES=("" -hwe -hwe-nvidia -hwe-nvidia-open -nvidia -nvidia-open) 
DXS=("" -dx)

for hwe in "${HWES[@]}"; do
    for dx in "${DXS[@]}"; do
        for tag in stable stable-daily latest; do
            image="aurora${dx}${hwe}:${tag}"
            echo "Testing $image"
            skopeo inspect "docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/${image}" > /dev/null
            if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
                echo "MISSING: ${image}"
            else
                echo "FOUND: ${image}"
            fi
        done
    done
done

If I remember right, this was a decision that bluefin folks did, that the hwe images are always only :latest when they were thinking what to do with surface and asus devices.

I think it was because of the kernel, which needs patches for surface and asus stuff and those are only available in the Bazzite kernel.

Sure that Jorge or M2 knows the full reasoning for it.

Thanks for the context @inffy. Jorge gave the same reason in ublue-os/bluefin#2141 (comment) so I think we can close this and revisit it later if we want.
