Immutable Fedora Linux Workstation: The Awesome Power of libostree 

i like the comically small stephen

Thank you once again Stephen. You guided me through EndeavourOS and Arch and now Silverblue through your channel, I am not planning to leave it. Immutable images IMO is where we are headed. I am staying on Silverblue 37 for now, as I so want to keep using ddterm and its not Gnome 44 compatible yet, and neither is Guake, so that's a deal breaker for me. Can't wait to see your Silverblue 38 install. By following your SB 36 tutorial, I used it to install SB37. Keep up the great work.

Thanks, this was really clear and helpful. I'm considering using an immutable distro, since I already do most of my work in containers--I've been using docker for a couple years now, and I've just gotten into distrobox. Recently, I've been checking out universal blue, which provides several interesting images for rpm-ostree, including other desktop environments. However, so far I don't know of any rpm-ostree image for cinnamon de, which is pretty much a dealbreaker for me since I've already invested a lot of time into customizing it, plus I just like it. Maybe you can layer an entire new de onto your rpm-ostree image? It seems messy.

I've been investigating into Silverblue and MicroOS a lot recently, and I think I will eventually make the switch. However I still couldn't figure out a satisfactory way to reproduce my LaTeX + Emacs workflow on it, at least not without resorting to distrobox or layering the entire TeXLive distribution (which both miss the point, in my opinion).

Thank you! Sir, I think you conviced me to use Immutable Distros for my main system! Great tips, you showed us how to jump from Silverblue, to Kinoite, but what if you decide: "Mhm.. I think I like KDE Plasma more, I will stay on Kinoite" What happens with all the GNOME Apps? Because the showed /home backup method only works, if you rollback to Silverblue, right? I also noticed, that you have the whole qemu-kvm virt-manager package layered, is it okay to use CoW VM on a CoW Filesystem like Fedoras?

​I have created a Fedora 40 instance on AWS, but it doesn’t come with dnf or yum by default. How i can install it

At 12:19, sddm shows gnome session login entries, even though the silverblue gnome image is no longer active and visible. I'm guessing these session logins will fail. Maybe cached data remaining in /var from the previous active silverblue image is triggering the gnome entries?

Just to check my understanding here: If you now (at the end of your video) went back to Kinoite, wouldn’t you have a messed up KDE install as the KDE config files are gone? Or do they get created on first boot of KDE again?

Hello: Why do you use Fedora in Virtual Machine? Wich is your main distribution? Thanks.

What immutable distro you like the most?
