What are the pros and cons for desktops ? EDIT : Thanks all. I’ll try Silverblue, bazzite and more.

  • If you’re using gnome/kde, I see no reason not to run immutable, the advantages of not being immutable are that you can piece together your system, if you’re running i3/sway/whatever, being able to choose your panel, your launcher, etc actually has value.

    The advantages of immutable are that you’ll never end up with a broken system, you can easily roll back to a not broken one if something does break, and the system is separate from your apps.

    • I was able to break fedora silverblue by messing file permissions in the home directory. Toolbx then stopped working, without which the distro is unusable.

      You can also make chaneges in /etc and similarly ruin your system.

      Just saying they aren’t quite as “unbreakable” as advertised.
