I have been eyeing up Fedora Onyx for the immutable root
- stingraycharles 3y agoYou mean Fedora Silverblue? Haven’t heard of Onyx. Edit: ok so I learned about Onyx, which appears to be doing roughly the same thing?
- palebluedot 3y agoThere are different spins of Fedora that are immutable and based on rpm-ostree and flatpaks, the variation being the desktop manager environment: * Silverblue: GNOME * Onyx: Budgie * Kinoite: KDE Plasma * Sericea: Sway
- bryanlarsen 3y agoAnd don't forget the community spins based off ublue, like Bazzite!
- KAMSPioneer 3y agoJust installed Onyx yesterday on my work machine! So far so good, some niggles as always (it's my first time using Budgie), but overall fairly usable and easy.
- totallywrong 3y agoI've been using an immutable Fedora for quite a while now and it's amazing. I use toolbox and run everything in containers, including GUI apps, so not even using Flatpak which I'm not a big fan of. I think I have like 3 or 4 packages installed on top of the base image. The peace of mind while upgrading can't be overstated. Highly recommended.
- vorticalbox 3y agoI run mongodb for work and that requires openssl1. On Ubuntu I just copy the libs over to /usr/lib But that wouldn't be an option on an immutable system. I will look into toolbox. Edit: looks like tool box is exactly what I'm after!
