A discussion about the Ultimate Linux Desktop

  A familiar(ish) Ubuntu desktop for Fedora Silverblue.

I've been using Linux for almost a year at this point, and the journey has been wild as of late. Recently I've been into Immutable distributions and it's been interesting. I wanted to try and shed some light into an awesome project that aims to bring cloud technologies to the regular Linux desktop. I am not forcing anyone to try or use this project, just wanted to talk about my experience. So, you know how Fedora Silverblue is Immutable and meant to not be changed at all from the base? Well, a bunch of chads got together and made Universal Blue: A customized Fedora Immutable image on steroids: daily automatic updates, with an easy way to rollback to an unbroken state. Updates automatically built on the cloud means that all you need to do is download the update and reboot. If you have an NVIDIA card you don't need to rebuild akmods* every time an update happens. And you also can make an image yourself in an extremely easy way (and I do mean extremely easy) so that everything is customized to your liking removing the need to layer packages. And also, since these custom images are all in cloud, they will ideally never be out-of-date. You went to a trip and got 1GB of updates? Just download the new image and reboot, if something breaks you can easily rollback after all

It got mass-adopted while being imperfect, so that's to be expected. Thankfully its inception and the criticism that followed have paved the way for the likes of dinit and s6.
