Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

Let's make this place more active!

So, title. Personally after trying out pretty much every major distro save gentoo, I've come back to Ubuntu because it just works and I can focus on my work. Did remove snap and install flatpak, but other than that it's mostly stock ubuntu.

Ubuntu / PopOS user here.

Someone here mentioned NixOS and it made me want to speak up. I've been thinking of moving to BlendOS or VanillaOS for a while now. I've been using them virtualized and I think I like blendOS more.

With that being said, I'm really intrigued by all those distros picking up the immutable atomic core update model. I want my system to always be up to date but I want it to be stable as well. I feel this is the true power of containers.

My question here is, does anyone use an immutable and atomic distro on their desktop PC like blendOS, VanillaOS, Fedora silver blue, or NixOS?

If so, what is it like?

Note: I know that steamOS, HoloISO, and ChimaeraOS are also immutable and atomic but I don't count those as "desktop" distros. I have been testing ChimeraOS myself on an AMD 5600X3D based platform and aside from Bluetooth latency issues, it's very very nice.
