True, but Universal Blue instead of regular Fedora. Fedora is a cucked distro which is afraid of shipping anything that has a patent or a proprietary license.

macOS is immutable and has been for a while now. The only reason Windows is not immutable yet is because it's a steaming pile of shit filled with so much technical debt that it's impossible to rewrite it properly.

Tell that to the majority of highly paid software devs who are mainly working with immutable data systems. Same with atomic systems, there's a reason why databases are using atomic transactions/updates.
>inb4 but this is operating systems
Then tell that to MacOS, iOS, Android and various other user and server Linux distros all of which are immutable and/or atomic.

Almost all non-hobby servers and development pipelines are using Docker images.

Don't use Universal Blue. MAYBE the actual base univeral blue image is fine, but it's basically a small team of system provisioners, most of whom don't even code, who are just throwing their favorite apps onto base images (like VPN's you'll never ever use at the system level) and kernel patches they don't understand. If you want bootc just bake it yourself.

I get it you're a retard who has no idea how linux works, you think it's ok to waste 2GB on a boot parition when an efi bootloader is around 2MB and even a bloated kernel + initramfs should be less than 100MB. You might as well just use windows, you get the reboots, you get the bloat, you get the cucking but at least you can run anything you want.

There it is, the tinker tranny mindset. Looking forward to something breaking so he can "fix it," probably by straying even further from system defaults that will lead to more issues down the line. He doesn't care about having a working system because it doesn't matter if his computer works or not on any given day. So what's the use of a rollback to him? That would get in the way of his hobby of shooting himself in the foot.

People with jobs, families and hobbies don't want to spend time fixing their computers when they break even if they're perfectly capable of doing so. In work environments time spent fixing computers is time spent not working.

The only downside of atomic distros is that you can't spend your entire time tinkering with your system and act like you're superior to everyone else on the internet. But the only people for whom that matters at all is people who have literally nothing else going on in their life. Something went wrong? I'll just rollback and go on with my life. That's incompatible with the autist whose only interest is tinkering with computers but it's what everyone else wants from a computer. It's why they all hate flatpaks too.

You must install docker, on an immutable linux distro, to use the random shitheap container system they built into the fucking OS because why would they use what literally every god damned developer has been using to containerize since like 2010 when they can pick their tranny friend's gay reddit narwal shit... Amazing concept executed so poorly it's basically useless.

Docker compose doesn't unless you install it in every container (retarded), or install it at the OS level, which defeats the purpose of the OS? Same thing with vscode. Install it via flatpak at the host level and have no access to your containers, or install it in every container (retarded).

>They don't.
Yes, they do. There's 3 Bazzite installers. One is for AMD/Intel, one is for nVidia, and one is for AMD/Intel but configured to be in Steam Big Picture mode. You only don't get nVidia drivers if you clicked on "I use AMD, not nVidia" when downloading the install image.
>>
Yes I'm a big fan of immutable fedora based distros. They're almost retard-proof. I put bazzite-deck-nvidia on my htpc and it has been a better linux experience for that use case than anything else I've ever tried.

Unironically a skill issue.
>>

Hey ding dong, OP's image says Fedora Atomic, which Bazzite is based on, but doesn't mean just bazzite.
>>
>>107993679
One of the main features of fedora atomic is to be able to rebase to a spin that has everything you need baked into it. Or create that spin yourself. You still need to do stuff to make your computer work the way you want it to. It's not magic. You don't just download an ISO that magically has a system set up specifically for your individual tastes and needs. You still might have to use your brain for a minute or two. VSCode has plugins for working with containers. Universal Blue spins have your drivers baked in. One command to install.
>>
>>107993679
Why would you intentionally try to install a distro that doesn't support your hardware out of the box? This is almost as retarded as trying to install Windows x86 on an ARM device. If you're on nVidia you're supposed to install Bazzite or any of the other Atomic images which come with nVidia drivers.
Also, the fucking AI summary of Brave search literally guides you step by step on how to install the drivers properly without them conflicting with the default semi-functional ones.
>>
I don't get what problem all these Atomic distros are trying to solve
>>
>>107993887
If you had a hundred servers to maintain would you rather maintain each one individually or maintain a single image that each server pulls from?

>>107994252
>why would I want it for my desktop
Like you said, it mainly makes sense on enterprise desktops where you want preconfigured VPN's and internal software packages. For personal desktops it has fewer benefits. Gets you system level rollbacks (probably the main benefit), allows you to rebase to other atomic desktops (not many to rebase to atm), and makes the system harder for an inexperienced user to break (even though it's experienced linux users who most often break their systems)
The main benefit I see in the future is for little mini-spins of distros. You have a distro like Ubuntu or Fedora or something and then you create hardware specific spins. Instead of Ubuntu Desktop or Fedora Workstation, Ubuntu Desktop for Thinkpad T16 or Fedora Workstation for the Dell Whateverthefuck. Mini-distro spins optimized for specific hardware without the user having to do it themselves.
