Lightweight dev tools.
This is already a bit of a change because when I'm not using the MacBook Pro, I am using my desktop which has Pop!_OS 22.04 installed.

Do you think Pop!_OS should be re-named to "Cosmic" when the new DE comes out?
"Cosmic OS" still fits in perfectly with the existing space-themed marketing imagery on https://pop.system76.com/

Suggestion: When COSMIC is ready, maybe base it on Debian stable and ditch Ubuntu and Pop OS name?
/u/ahoneybun if you are reading this, it's not too late for you to convince the System76 higher ups to change the marketing to say that Pop! was just the 1st iteration of System76's OS (since Pop! means something coming into being like the universe) and Cosmic OS is the 2nd iteration, the Cosmos as they are after the "Pop!" and have now become something of its own like the new DE. Even your homepage, https://pop.system76.com/ could easily be changed to https://cosmic.system76.com/

Windows 11 now comes with its own adware
Regarding the stability issue on a dev machine - you may be interested in playing with one of the immutable-os distros, such as SilverBlue (fedora based).
The high-level take-away is you can't break your actual OS since it's root filesystem is read-only, and you use "pet" containers (on docker, podman, whatever) to do your work in. Applications are either sandboxed via Flatpak, or installed/run inside your pet containers. If your pet container dies, you cry about it for a moment, and when you're ready you get a new one - your actual os and other containers remain unaffected.
I use distrobox[1] to create/run the pet containers.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Distrobox is a tool that enables us to try Linux distro CLI, including their package manager. This requires a containerization tool (e.g., Docker). In Windows, this can be achieved using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
- Distrobox: Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal

Fedora Atomic Desktops
I use containerized versions of things, ubuntu and chainguard images mostly.
You can always create containers with init if that's how you want to do that though. Some distros publish images that come that way: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_...

Operating System?
Yes, you can do that but I've seen others use something like distrobox to run linux inside of SteamOS: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/posts/steamdeck_guide.md

Battery consumption of using remote development with WSL2?
Btw #3: Depending on what the user is trying to accomplish, e.g. maybe to make WSL(2) itself more of a "subsystem" than a "container engine", using something like Distrobox or nsbox.dev can be a good idea (along with Docker or Podman in Distrobox's case; the other one uses systemd-nspawn).

Cannot run containers with Distrobox
1. Find here in "Containers Distros" section the distro image that you want to install ("Toolbox" versions are better because they are configured for Distrobox) and get it URL: https://distrobox.it/compatibility/#containers-distros 2. Use that URL to create Distrobox: distrobox create -i registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:39 -n fedora_1_39 3. Enter Distrobox fedora_1_39: distrobox enter fedora_1_39 4. You are already in Distrobox console. Look at the name in console, it should be include the container name. 5. To exit Distrobox: exit 6. If you run: distrobox list you will see all distroboxes on the system. You will also see that distrobox that we exited is still running. 7. To stop distrobox use commands: distrobox stop fedora_1_39
