It was the future 10 years ago.

I thought the advantage of immutable systems was for administrating large networks so retards don't break shit. Why would you use this as an individual?
Nathaniel Gutierrez
Android doesn't count.
Camden Sanchez
NixOS is even older than that.
No more "Yes, do as I say", no more "You have held broken packages", no more dependency hell, no more glibc breaking, no more broken updates, no need to reinstall your distro ever.
Brandon Perez
what if i never experienced any of this
Christopher Ross
Then you're not very experienced with GNU/Linux.
Nathan Baker
it's a big fat retarded meme
Christopher Bell
Inmutable OSes are the present, e.g. iOS, Android, macOS.
GNU/Linux hasn't caught up just yet.
But yes, they are the future of desktop Linux.

Tried out Silverblue and it wouldn't even let me install MPV or psensor
Brody Sanders
Because MPV is non-free. Fedora Workstation also doesn't ship it by default.
If you're too much of a brainlet to not have figured out how to install it then you should probably keep using Windows or whatever you're on.

It'll be good enough for daily use in 2-3 years
right now is a meme

Future is ARM or RISC-V running containerized programs with an immutable root, yes
Nicholas Sanchez
MPV is free but it contains non-free codecs.
That's why Fedora doesn't ship it by default.
Charles Adams
nta but where in mpv's source code are any codecs?
Grayson Reed
Don't these distros force you to use Flatpaks? Or can you still install normal packages somehow?
Brayden Butler
they're just the latest gimmick
Jace Adams
none of those are immutable operating systems
Elijah Howard
thinking about switching from arch to fedora kinoite. someone itt using it?
no they don't force you, you are encouraged to use them but you can install them using rpmostree as normal packages, like using dnf for fedora o suse. but flatpaks in flathub now cover the 99% of users so it's a good thing in my opinion
