I started using Bluefin and Fedora Silverblue at the end of 2023. The concept of primarily using cloud technology and containers matched perfectly with my workflow.

My Pain Point With Immutable Linux Desktops

After more than two years on immutable desktops, it was time to try a new Linux distribution.

I think the Framework hardware is better supported. I just needed more stability.
Until now it's scripts and chezmoi. @krizz @dde

But after your blog post and @dde’s link dump, I’m unsure again

I’m on a Framework 13, so maybe less affected by driver issues. I liked the “stateless workstation” idea with chezmoi + uBlue repos.

So, back to Ansible after all?

I still believe in bootc, but need a stable machine for work. It's a bit sad that rebasing between different distributions or versions is not always working. This could also help. @jorge

Did you try other immutable distros? AerynOS, blendOS, etc?

And do you now utilize immutable-style workflows on Cachy? Like Flatpak only, read-only partitions or something like that?
