I switched to Fedora Kinoite about two years ago and it's been a great experience. Updates are mostly invisible to me, I only layer a handful of packages (zsh, fzf, distrobox) and I do development inside of distrobox containers so I don't have weird build dependencies in my base system.
Desktop apps are all Flatpaks, including Steam.

- mikae1 1y agoI switched to https://getaurora.dev https://getaurora.dev, also two years ago, and I'm not going back to a "normal" distro. Can recommend Bazzite, Bluefin and Aurora which are derived from Atomic Fedora but come with niceties like distrobox and NVIDIA drivers (if you need them).
- KerrAvon 1y agoI tried Bazzite and it was absurdly, perceivably slower than Garuda on the same hardware. Either the immutable distro thing has way too much unavoidable overhead, or their Nvidia image is not tuned for desktop use.
- vascocosta 1y agoTIL about distrobox. It seems like a really neat way to use containers with good host distro integration.
- balder1991 1y agoIf I were to guess, maybe people dislike Flatpack in general? At least that seems to be the case on Reddit’s /r/linux
