Ah, just saw that Fedora Silverblue 36 is out of beta as of two days ago. (Comes with GNOME 42 – which is awesome.)

Fedora Silverblue is an immutable OS that I’ve been using for a few weeks now alongside the excellent Distrobox tool that lets you run multiple distribution containers from terminal. Still finding my feet but love the stability and speed so far.

that's an interesting concept...

That the core OS is read-only. Like macOS. (Although on macOS, you don’t need to know that… which is how I hope it will eventually be on Silverblue.)

What's the advantage? I guess it's harder to mess up by semi-competent users (like myself), and by people wo deliberately try to, of course, but then there's probably a lot of stuff that needs to stay configurable, in oder to deal with varying hardware etc.

Also: Which parts constitute the "core"?

it still seems a bit incomplete... gnome software completely broke for me after upgrading v.v
