Let’s make the full transition to the decentralized Fediverse!
Funny things that immutable OS like MicroOs or Silverblue do that 1000 times more efficiently and you can even continue usyn system normally. Update applies after reboot.
Windows is just a pile of crap put together with a duct tape and chewing gum. They did no significant progress in decades.
Cheers for the reminder :) I've been meaning to upgrade to Silverblue because one time i managed to terminally break vanilla Fedora, it isn't so bad when you make use of a /home partition but having to set stuff up is still bleh.
Check it out though in some test env. Silverblue has many things you will need to get used to and change your approach to the system. In general, whole root filesystem is read only so you wont be able to touch anything there like you normally do. The main idea is as well to keep main os as clean as possible. You should use mainly flatpak apps and toolboxes. If you have no option left, you install it normally to base os.
Oh, yes. And the package manager is rpm-ostree. Very confusing for me and I still do not understand how this works. It’s not very user friendly tool.
Suse micro OS does this in a lot better way. They do btrfs snapshots instead of ostree. Those are very familiar to the user and it even allows you to enter a snapshot and modify manually something. For example when Ineeded to add xbox controller driver to the kernel.
Sadly silverblue is lot more polished than Micro.
