Linux pros: You have control over everything Linux cons: You have control over everything

That's why immutable distros will bring more Linux users in the future.

Are we talking something like NixOS?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

NixOS is semi-immutable but not really designed to be user friendly. I think we are more talking about Universal Blue, Fedora SilberBlur, OpenSUSE microOS, VanillaOS and so on.

Tbh I'm pretty new to nixos, but I'm starting to believe if we had that the exact same config (at least without flakes, I'm still having trouble undertanding them) but with a slightly abstracted UI, it would be one of the most user-friendly distros out there.

Like just imagine being able to click "Add program", write the name of a program, having all the options appear below as dropdown menus or on/off switches, then click big blue button "Apply" to rebuild.

;)

We need more beginner distros like that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Not yet ready for daily use!

We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So that begs the question: whY THE FUCK haven't i search for that before?

Thanks, I'll be looking into it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

As it says on the website, this is still in development and not actually ready for use by mere mortals quite yet. It hopefully will be at some point though as that is its explicit goal.

*mint (nothing else)

-windows 11 user

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Mint is not immutable.

sinde when did linux have to make tables immune?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

???

Lookup the definition of immutable and then lookup what an immutable Linux distro is.

We were specifically talking about immutable Linux OSes/distros

[–] muhyb 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yup! NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, OpenSUSE MicroOS, Guix etc.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And steamdeckOS... whenever valve decides they're gonna release it for general use.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Apart from the game mode update notes being hard coded to show steamos updates, bazzite is a drop in replacement that doesn't get rid of your non flatpak packages each update. It also bundles or has easy installation options for all the recommended third party software everyone uses with the deck.
