Fedora folks have been thinking about this problem for a while, and in the long-term we may see the distribution get restructured to address it: https://blog.fishsoup.net/2016/08/24/summer-talks-purpleegg/ https://blog.fishsoup.net/2016/08/24/summer-talks-purpleegg/ TLDR: There are no commitments yet, but we may see a future version of Fedora Workstation that consists of an immutable, replace-only base OS, applications delivered by Flatpak, and tooling for containerized development environments.
