I’ve seen a lot of talks on the benefits of immutable distros (specifically Fedora Silverblue) but it always seemed to me as more of a hassle. Has anyone here been daily driving an immutable distro? Would you say it’s worth the effort of getting into?
The only immutable “distro” I use is SteamOS on the Steam deck, and already knowing that I will have to re-install networkmanager-openvpn annoys me.
The problem there is you not having the ability to change the configuration of the system image. Not the immutability.
I put together an Ansible playbook to “recover” from SteamOS updates. I use mine for gaming and some software development, and trying to get back Arch packages would be a huge pain without my playbook.
