*solvves linux*
Basically an immutable tumbleweed that works OOTB.

Exactly

?

>>107157990 (OP)
I prefer and use Fedora but will bump this thread because I like my gecko brothers

use case? Doesn't do anything that a config-management system doesn't do, and if you aren't a sysadmin managing lots of systems you don't need one in the first place

>>107157990 (OP)
Usecase for atomic distros? Like, genuinely.

>>107159977
Stability. Upgrade broke something? Just roll back. And I imagine it's also much, much more secure against malware if it can't write anything to the root filesystem.

>>107157990 (OP)
im using fedora kinoite, is this basically the suse version of that?

>>107160289
Pretty much. The difference being you will get updates at tumbleweeds rolling pace.

The containerised aapproach is incredible. Yeah, you could configure a normal system to function similarly but someone has already done that for you. A great workstation option.

>containerization on the desktop
mentall illness

>>107160483
pic related fedora has both a 'regular' (~6 month releases) and a rolling (rawhide) version of their atomic desktop.you can also switch between the different branches if you wanna change desktops. (i literally did this 1h ago i was on the gnome version yesterday) and you get 5 different desktop choices

fedora have been doing atomic since 2015 (Fedora Atomic Host (Project Atomic)) and the more focused atomic desktop (silverblue) since 2018. IMO theyre a better choice for atomic desktop unless you're really into SUSE.

>>107160542
why not? it works

>immuta-
That word is too big but Aeon is a cool name so I'll use it.

>immutable garbage
Great I love my pc being as locked down as my phone. Fuck owning your device, that's for nerds.

>>107160504
You don't?

>>107158080
That's not a gecko. That is a chameleon.

>>107160614
>rolling (rawhide)
Waiit, you can use that branch on the atomic spins? So I could install a ublue spin and switch it to rolling?

>>107160614
>>107160684
The thing about Rawhide is it is meant for testing, not for daily driving, more like Debian with its testing repo. This is how some bugs have been found and fixed before reaching beta and stable releases. Fedora don't have the intention of becoming rolling release.
Tumbleweed has more testing and is meant to be used as a daily driver, it has the intention of covering both stable and rolling release models.

>>107160709
That's what I figured. Nothing wrong with fedora's point releases but I much prefer a continous update stream.

>>107160709
Branched gets more updates than Fedora's regular releases, but a lot less than Rawhide
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/branched/

>>107160684
those are fedora branches where they give you a new system iamge every day or so

ublue are their own branches and i think they all use much older images for example bluefin are on linux 6.16.8 and fedora 42 where's regular/atomic fedora are on 6.17.7 and fedora 43.

>>107160709
i think the idea with rawhide is you run it in a container (toolbx, a podman wrapper that ships with fedora). you can set it up in any fedora install with 1 command and run the newest packages while keeping a clean atomic base system.

Linux was already solved

>>107161093
Does it have snapper rollback by default?

*has a weird installation method in your path*
nothing personnel, $USER

It's 2025, almost 2026 and we just don't have the ability to put an ISO on a usb stick. I tried to install this twice and it didn't fucking work. I followed the instructions.

The best part about linux is that you can customize and experiment. Wanting to "solve" it will end up in a centralized solution that no one likes equally, like Windows or IOS. Stop trying to make linux something it isn't.

>>107161295
*has mandatory gnome desktop in your path*

>>107161166
yes

>>107161358
Tumbleweed is better

>>107161093
Flavor of the year distro everyone will stop using at some point like Manjaro and other meme distros

>>107161453
cope, it's been dominating distrowatch for ages, this one is sticking around for good

>>107161462
That's what they said about Slackware, Anon.

>>107161471
CachyOS is the Clear Linux successor, except it also has a lot of gaming optimisations to help people move over from Windows if they're into that too. It has widespread appeal, is fast and stable for everyone regardless of what they use their PC for, and it's sticking around for a very long time.

I just wish systemd would fuck off

>>107161482
All of the "optimisation" is kernel tweaks exclusively for handhelds. Have you actually inspected the source code for their tweaks?
The only other stuff is a few goomer drivers pre-installed like xone, but any retard can just install drivers.

>>107161462
You mean like how Manjaro was dominating back in 2018
Meme distro everyone will stop using just like Manjaro

do people really have imaginary arguments in the shower? how schizo is the average normie?

How is it for software development? Interested in Kalpa for the KDE environment myself.

>>107159945
I've been using fedora and it is actually the best linux experience I have ever had.

That being said, why not Alma or Rocky?

>>107163372
Because I don't use nor need an enterprise compatible environment?

>>107161680
fucking kek

>>107162545
>how schizo is the average normie?
Much more than they let on
