I still don't get why people fall for the immutable distro meme

Also, usecase for immutability in a desktop system? None. Especially in a UNIX system.

isn't that the same as every other package manager?

>>106342166 (OP)
I can't think of a specific usecase in which ostree would be advantageous save a kiosked environment for tards. If you have your system on lvm/brtfs there are akready snapshots for fixing fuckups.

In Silverblue you are not supposed to install anything into the base OS anyway. The default Silverblue install is significantly smaller than the same Arch install. You install software using local package managers, inside containers (toolbox gives transparent containers which have everything you want mounted including GPU and devices) or with flatpak. This significantly increases security. For the updates. On other Linux distros if you update the kernel or any driver you have to reboot if a new application wants to use that updated driver (mismatch). On Silverblue updates happen transparently. You never notice them but if you reboot you are just magically always on the newest version (without any update time either mind you).


My guess is that ublue is around 10 years ahead of everyone else right now. There is a reason Ublue/Silverblue are seeing absurd install numbers for a "niche" distro.

I'm on Fedora Silverblue as my main OS for years, and I just update it once a month, never had any issues with it whatsoever.
Just remove the preinstalled cucked version of Firefox and you're good for life.
Also stop shilling immutable distros, I don't want it to go mainstream and attract a bunch of redditors.

Bazzite alone has millions of pulls.

the preinstalled ff version has performance tweaks and is the only firefox version to support hw video decoding on nvidia

nixos does not have this problem. nixos-rebuild switch usually works.

>>106344687
What problem?
>>106344687
>nixos-rebuild switch usually works
Yea and in Silverblue you literally never have to "rebuild" or "update" or anything. You just turn off your computer and the next time you boot you are updated with no delay or anything.

>>106344544
The security angle i can get, the update transparency less. No matter how safe they are implemented in my book updates should never get completely automatized.

>>106344567
>not liking something on paper makes you a schizo
Just fuck off already

>>106344731
pretty sure you can disable auto updates

>>106344978
Can you do per package updates and pinning versions as well?

>>106345024
depends on the distro. Silverblue uses flatpaks for userspace gui software. So you can do anything you can with flatpaks.
As for rpm-ostree, I don't have experience in, I don't really use silverblue, or any other immutable distro for that matter, just like that they exist 'cause they add variety and more options to the linux desktop.

>>106345058
Well, i don't like it (for me) but i don't hate it as well, in fact fedora budgie immutable is on top of my picks for a linux distro i could install for my parents/tech impaired friends.

I wonder how long it will take them to finish replacing rpm-ostree with bootc.

>>106345024
It clearly is not for you if you enjoy littering your OS with arbitrary packages. The expectation for Silverblue is that you will never install anything on the base OS. I have been running Silverblue for around 3 years now and I have had 1 single layered package.

I don't, but when i do i don't like having convoluted structures in place right on my way.

Cool man. We get it, but did you bother to bring anybody along for the ride?

>>106345699
exactly. since you understand you are on the level of a normie consumer but want to keep your imagination up your best bet is to listen to anyone (poor and unemployed) who spams the most on g and pol. muh rust bad bc daddy elon told liberals are bad

>>106344567
Completely irrelevant reply to any of the posts you quoted

why isnt there an official /g/ immutable distro based on ublue

>>106344544
we know what it is. Flatpaks are shit and distrobox/toolbox introduces a lot of issues. They have their time and place but a whole OS that forces the user to use them is nonsense.

>>106346177
because not all of us use 60% mechanical keyboards while wearing frilly kneesocks

>>106346177
you want a distro that comes with CP?

>>106344544
It doesn't actually improve security. If you install software in user modifiable directories and setup PATH etc for these then you make your system vulnerable to malware. This is even true for flatpak, since a lot of the most popular flatpaks require HOME read/write access to function.

Rpm-ostree should be the last resort of installing application
You have:
Flatpak
Pip
Brew
Podman
Distrobox
