Immutable distro resources https://github.com/castrojo/awesome-immutable Fedora is probably the most mature immutable desktop distro right now, both Silverblue (Gnome) and Kinoite (KDE). I use Kinoite on my Thinkpad x270 and it's been perfect so far. Ubuntu will release its own version, Ubuntu Core Desktop, “soon” (got delayed earlier this year) Another interesting one is Bazzite. Inspired by the Steam Deck OS but runs on Fedora (instead of the Steam Deck's Arch) with all the possible Nvidia, AMD, and other gaming enhancements enabled https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/

Interesting article! My takeaways: >"The current solutions involve packaging entire alternate runtimes in containerized environments. Flatpak, Snap, AppImage, Docker, and Steam: these all provide an app packaging mechanism that replaces most or all of the system’s runtime libraries, and they now all use containerization to accomplish this." [...] >"All of these technologies are essentially building an entire OS on top of another OS just to avoid the challenges of backwards compatibility." This is basically using containers to replace all system libraries -- to insure that a downloaded binary app always works. From this point forward, we'll use the term "API" to represent not just Linux kernel syscalls, but the totality of all library calls (system and otherwise!) used by a given downloaded binary application! Observation: API (in-)consist

ency (AKA "Stability") one Linux version to another, one Linux distro to another -- is the real problem! That's the real cause! Because everything else, everything else, is effect, not cause! The containerization, the bloated "everything but the kitchen sink" downloads, are the effect of the problem of API (in-)consistency! Phrased a simpler way -- there is absolutely NO guarantee of consistency between the libraries, system and otherwise, of any two Linux distros! So if a binary app is to run on all Linux distros -- then it had better damn well better make sure that the exact specific version of all of the libraries that it needs -- are managed by it, not the host operating system! Containers and bloated library downloads -- are (unfortunately) currently necessary to provide this!

Flatcar uses 2 partitions, A and B, you boot into one and then updates update the one that you're not booted into, when you reboot it it boots into the updated one. It's like Android: https://source.android.com/docs/core/ota/ab I maintain an awesome-list of immutable resources with a collection of talks and presentations from the people making the stuff. They do a better job explaining it than I can in an hn comment: https://github.com/castrojo/awesome-immutable However the list is currently focused on desktop stuff since this is a fairly common pattern in cloud already, I should probably write it up. Semi-related, a few of us have started a community around composable OCI fedora images, and one of our images is intended to be used as a home server built on CoreOS with ZFS, cockpit, and all the goodies you'd need. It's still fresh and we'
