Hey! I’m currently on Fedora Workstation and I’m getting bored. Nothing in particular. I’ve heard about immutable distros and I’m thinking about Fedora Kinoite. The idea is interesting but idk if it’s worth it. CPU and GPU are AMD. Mostly used for gaming.
That’s absolutely not true.
Immutable systems aren’t just “normal systems you can’t change”, no, they’re more.
They’re image based. So, every OS is the same, giving you better reproducibility, resulting in less bugs, better security and a “fresh” OS after every update.
Your OS accumulates stuff over every update and by just using it over time, and having an image based OS is just better.
Immutability has so much more advantages than just keeping the host clean. It has some disadvantages, yes, but for most people out there, way more advantages!
Yeah, I run Silverblue and I never watch back to common distro any more. They say there is a learning curve and they are not for novices… That is absolutely not true, they are easier and the only thing you learn is layering packages, which is same as installing packages in every distro with CLI in terminal lol, what learning curve?
Yep, same. While I’m not a total noob, I also don’t have that much experience. Just that much to confidentially break my system every time and not knowing why or how to fix it.
SB just makes rolling back way easier, or even prevents breaking my system at all.
And as a notorious DE-hopper, it is also very convenient.
I barely notice any drawbacks for me tbh
