Quite impressed by Silverblue (programming.dev)

I’ve toyed around with Fedora a couple times in the past but never daily drove it. Pretty much a Debian guy (gnome desktop, headless servers and raspbian) but I had to scratch that immutable itch.

I just put together a home media server and thought to try silverblue since I was mostly going to be running containers anyways.

Got a couple flatpaks installed and toolboxed where necessary, but it went rather smooth. A bit of a learning curve for me to get pods as services with systemd but otherwise smooth sailing.

Haven’t had to restore yet but it’s comforting to have the option! Yet another package manager was one reason I wouldn’t deviate much from Debian but the immutable angle sorts that out nicely.

It just feels so clean!

I know I'm necroposting, I just installed Fedora Cosmic Atomic today and I'm happy with it

Definitely a steep learning curve for me (e.g. where did dnf go, what's the difference between rpm, rpm-ostree, snap, flatpak, etc.) but things are working pretty well.

I even set up some kernel parameters and it made much more sense this way.

I tried gnome first, then KDE, and I'm feeling at home on Cosmic.
