Question about immutability
There exists a COPR to get the earlier mentioned kernel-hardened package on Fedora. Furthermore, I forgot to mention the hardened_malloc package as (yet another) measure for hardening is offered for Fedora as well. But you might have started to notice a pattern; these (and many other projects) are not ported to openSUSE (or at least not in a way that a mere layman like myself can access them) and this is hurting the legibility of using openSUSE over Fedora. Even if Silverblue doesn't yet provide support for anything I've just mentioned; at some point it will. And at that point, I'm sure that I can get those packages installed easily and go on with my life. Unfortunately, with openSUSE, I just don't know if that ever will be the case. So either I'd have to reinvent the wheel myself, or opt for the easy option....; use Fedora instead. And this is merely just an example of this, for a lot stuff that go beyond the base install you might have difficulty with getting it done on openSUSE. Simply because it's not there yet and it lacks the community to do it for openSUSE. The aforementioned uBlue (a community project) provides a lot of different Desktop Environments to be used with Fedora Silverblue. Unfortunately, with openSUSE Aeon, you're kinda stuck with GNOME (to be fair Kalpa and Greybeard do exist, but use these at your own discretion). Which shouldn't be a problem if you enjoy using GNOME, but what if you don't enjoy using GNOME...

Serious New Warning as Google AI Targets Billions of Private Messages
It mostly only affects bank apps, but in my experience most of them work without issues, however Gpay won't work at all no matter what.
Personally the only worry I have with GrapheneOS is its crazy dev, he said he will step down (3), but he still does a lot (4).
1. https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play
2. https://grapheneos.org/usage#banking-apps
3. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36089104
4. Just check the commit logs in any of the grapheneOS repos.
For example https://github.com/GrapheneOS/hardened_malloc
