Immutable Operating Systems: Yay or Nay?

I've seen a lot of talks on the benefits of immutable distros (specifically Fedora Silverblue) but it always seemed to me as more of a hassle. Has anyone here been daily driving an immutable distro? Would you say it's worth the effort of getting into?

SFaulken, 11 months ago

I've been daily driving openSUSE Aeon/Kalpa for the better part of two years now. I don't see any good reason to return to a traditional distribution for a desktop machine. I very much know what I'm doing as a linux user/admin, having been using it for years, and the no-fuss/no-hassle nature of an immutable system is exactly what I want for my workstations. And ultimately my servers.

Well hot damn. This should certainly help with some issues I've been having with Kalpa.

My Personal Tier list of Linux Distros

SFaulken, 11 months ago

Wait a minute. Since when are LXQt and XFCE "Distributions" ?

I don't even know what that vaguely gear-like one in the top tier is, or the one next to the geeko in the second tier are.

(Just as a sidenote, as one of the openSUSE LXQt maintainers, and sometimes LXQt Upstream contributor, if we're providing our own distro somewhere, this is the first I've heard of it.)
