I’n trying it with F36. One of my biggest complaints (and it is very minor one) is the need to reboot after rpm-ostree upgrade. There is an experimental option, that attempts to bypass the reboot, but so far hasn’t worked. I have yet to try it on the mistake laptop with nvidia graphics. I worry about that. I don’t have the best experience with standard F36 workstation.
"Silverblue is a variant of Fedora Workstation. It looks, feels and behaves like a regular desktop operating system, and the experience is similar to what you find with using a standard Fedora Workstation.
However, unlike other operating systems, Silverblue is immutable. This means that every installation is identical to every other installation of the same version. The operating system that is on disk is exactly the same from one machine to the next, and it never changes as it is used."
I was never a linux user but I decided to install this OS on an old pc. From a devs perspective I like how this OS behaves like a git repo but the immutability aspect of it makes it much less practical to use especially when tools rely on root level directories like ~/home or ~/usr
Take this with a grain of salt, my guess is that experienced linux users will have a significantly better experience than me.
