Recently switched to bluefin from workstation, I was initially a bit held back by all of the GNOME customisations, but they’re pretty straightforward to revert back to default. While I like the idea of automatic updates it would be nice if it integrated with GNOME software to make it easier to control. Otherwise if you’re looking for an immutable/atomic desktop and want it to pretty much work out of the box I would highly recommend
Yeah I use silverblue on another computer and previously on this one, but the killer feature of bluefin is that NVIDIA drivers and codecs are built right into the image (as with the other ublue images) meaning that you don’t need to layer them and risk a bad upgrade. I’m planning on bringing the other computer over as well even though it’s AMD, at least I’ll get ROCm and the codecs.

Have you tried Silverblue? If Bluefin’s Gnome customisation isn’t for you I expect Silverblue would be much closer to Workstation

Use the universal blue silverblue-nvidia image to get silverblue with Nvidia built in
