toc VS ublue

Yup.. CNCF seems to not like this change: https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/1262

CNCF Cloud Native Definition v1.0

This comes along with a public comment period, you can find the details here, and add your comments, support, remarks at this GitHub PR.

gRPC had a graduation application open for 3 years. It was rejected very recently: https://github.com/cncf/toc/pull/300.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like the main problem is Google's tight control over the project. Apple contributes to the Swift implementation and MSFT drives the native .NET implementation, but there's little non-Google input in decision-making for Go, Java, C++ core, or any of the implementations that wrap core.

More subjectively, I'm impressed by the CNCF's willingness to stick to their stated graduation criteria. gRPC is widely used (even among other CNCF projects), and comes from the company that organized the CNCF - there must have been a lot of pressure to rubber-stamp the application.

There is some movement: gRPC was recently denied graduation due to perceived problems with its governance.

CNCF Cloud Native Definition v1.0

I myself use Fedora Silverblue with a https://ublue.it/ -based custom image, and I use home-manager for shell configuration. Sure, my GNOME layout isn't declarative, but basically everything else is. Pair that with one of the best NVIDIA driver experiences and the strong feeling of stability, it's better than most other Linuxes rn.

Take a look at ublue.it

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of immutable systems. You still have full control over what’s on your computer, you just don’t exercise that control by making irreversible changes to your core system while it’s running. You can use e.g. rpm-ostree, or even better, build a custom image with exactly the changes you want that updates and ships directly to your computer whenever you want it to.

Have you considered the Sericea(Sway) immutable Fedora spin at ublue.it?

Have you considered the nvidia images at ublue.it? They make silverblue and nvidia easy.

Try the ublue images, they have one for deepin. It’s a variant on fedoras immutable silverblue image, you could either use their iso on http://ublue.it or install silverblue and rebase to the deepin image via:

ublue.it

This is indeed a blind spot. Thanks for pointing that out! Silverblue -to my knowledge- doesn't do a lot to address this. Though, 3rd-party tools like Home Manager and the suite of applications developed by the folks over at uBlue might be able to limit this to a minimum. Though I'm not sure if it surpasses NixOS in this regard; for the uninitiated. Though, to my knowledge, this requires special attention and depends on the specifics of the NixOS system in question.

This hasn't been for nought as even openSUSE's Aeon (and all their immutable offerings) ship Distrobox instead. Vanilla OS also ships Distrobox instead of Toolbx. Heck, even the folks over on uBlue\1]) always mention Toolbx with Distrobox and vice versa. And it wouldn't surprise me if most of them prefer to use Distrobox instead.
