ublue VS pop-os-rootfs

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.

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.

Pop_OS ==> https://pop.system76.com

"Cosmic OS" still fits in perfectly with the existing space-themed marketing imagery on https://pop.system76.com/

Pop_OS!

Pop_OS v22.04 with Cosmic desktop ==> ( https://pop.system76.com/ )

/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/
