ublue VS silverblue-update

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.

Tony Walkers update script can replace both. It is user-configurable and gives GUI notifications. It integrates rpm-ostree and Flatpak, maybe in the future fwupd too.

Still I personally like to update every day, I use Tonywalkers update script, it has a configurable systemd.timer in it.

Add tonywalkers autoupdate script to save the pain of waiting for the build to finish

What you need to do: - Install this autoupdate script you will never need to update any apps again - add Flathub, maybe remove Fedora Flatpaks to avoid duplications and the extra runtime (base packages needed for Flatpak apps to run) - check out our Fedora OSTree Setup project. It will deal with a lot of settings needed to be changed, if I have time I will make one ready to use.

This script automatically enables auto-updates on Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite

Enable Autoupdates

Its quite extensive, implementing tonywalkers autoupdates (which are essential to make that distro work, as updates take a long time), Firefox arkenfox user.js setup, Waydroid setup e.g.
