What do you prefer more and why?
I definitely agree that immutability offers considerable value in regards to improving security. But arguably it's insufficient to pull the win over mutable Fedora due to the losses caused by the inability to install the kernel-hardened package and the lack of UKI (Unified Kernel Image) support.

Looking to test out fedora Silverblue. I have only 1 question
Issue: https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/3944
-
What is the difference between Immutable Desktops and non Immutable Desktops?
Oversimplifying might have been the most sensible in this context. However, you might have gone a little bit too far as your description fits only NixOS, Guix and distros that utilize rpm-ostree.
-
Universal Blue is a new paradigm for the Linux desktop and it's brilliant
here's the documentation of ostree (the package manager)

Fedora Silverblue 38: rpm-ostree crashes
Now... this was VERY alarming to say the least, so I went online and did indeed find an issue on GitHub.
- Fedora Linux 38 released!
-
The New website is here, with modern UI. And getfedora.org redirect to fedoraproject.org with fresh look.๐
And there are still some issues with layering. Some packages that don't behave or follow standards will modify files in /usr/local, which isn't supported, so you simply won't be able to install them on Silverblue. I think it's the same for /opt as well. (https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/233) This means it fundamentally can't do everything Workstation can, which is unfortunate.

Flatcar Container Linux
ublue is based off of fedora and rpm-ostree, which is what "CoreOS" is today.
What happened was old school CoreOS was A/B partition based: https://github.com/coreos/docs/blob/master/os/sdk-disk-parti...
My memory is hazy but here's how I remember it: After Red Hat acquired CoreOS they rebased the entire thing around rpm-ostree, which is the CoreOS people know today: https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/
At the time there was some anxiety in the community as to what would happen, as there was no direct upgrade path from old CoreOS to new CoreOS. Theoretically if we all believed the kool-aid we were drinking it's just a redeploy, no pets!
Kinvolk came along, forked it, and made Flatcar Linux, which kept the A/B partitioning system, and more crucially, let you just change a config file and all your old CoreOS nodes would just move to Flatcar and then you were good to go. So now if you wanted to stay on the system you were comfortable with you could just use Flatcar. If the composability of rpm-ostree attracted you then new CoreOS have you covered. Red Hat deserves a hat tip here because in their documentation/blog they explicitly mentioned Flatcar as an option for people who wanted to stick with what they know, which I thought was cool and how I discovered it!
Later on Microsoft acquired Kinvolk and and then people raised eyebrows. I have not checked in a while but the folks involved continued to do their thing and run it like a good OSS project, hold public meetings, all that stuff.
I use both and they're both high quality.

Immutable Linux Distributions for Those Looking to Embrace the Future
Whenever I was looking at using CoreOS, I was somewhat disheartened that automatic reboots weren't built in: https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/2831. Has this changed? I know zincati has maintenance window support, which would also be nice to have.

What's the best way to get Unity Editor up and running
That version of Unity was installed as a Flatpak from Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.unity.UnityHub
-
Help installing "libssl1.1_1.1.0g"
Any reason you're not using the flatpak? Messing with system libraries because the vendor can't be bothered to link to the current version will definitely cause you issues down the line.
-
For example Win11s design, that definitely isn't KDE
I know containers such as snaps and flatpaks are issues. The biggest issue I faced with flatpaks is that it is hard to communicate with other apps. For example, Unity hub asks you to login after the install. The login uses a web browser, but damn the browser can't communicate to the flatpak app. https://github.com/flathub/com.unity.UnityHub/issues/70

We Are Dominating. Live Eternal Free and Open-Source.
Of course you can't run sudo apt update for paid softwares. People can choose to use old software and not buy the new one. Is this possible on Linux without containers? flatpaks and snaps have different and very childish issues. they can't even communicate to Chrome installed via apt. See this issue : https://github.com/flathub/com.unity.UnityHub/issues/70

Unable to login in Unity hub.
This is a known issue ; https://github.com/flathub/com.unity.UnityHub/issues/70

Arch Unity
Sure https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.unity.UnityHub :)
-
Why does Unity exist on Arch?
I'm not an Arch user so I might be way off, but can't you just install the package from Ubuntu? Or this flatpak?

Has anyone got unity3d working on arch?
I had it working for a while (I used the flatpak version) and didn't notice anything not working, although that was a few versions ago. I kind of drifted away from it to start trying to learn Godot so I haven't checked it for a little while. :)

Fedora or Debian-based Distro for Software/ Game Dev?
fedora is basically a distro aimed at developers / system admins that's trying to become more accessible. 6 month release cadence, very vanilla experience, close to upstream. no issues with blender, android studio and unity is available as a flatpak.
What are some alternatives?
