From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bazzite! It’s technically atomic and not fully immutable but I’ve been using it for about a week now (long time I know) and everything just works. Didn’t need to install any extra drivers to get it working with all my peripherals. I like it a lot. Fixed a lot of Wayland issues I was having on previous Ubuntu installs.
One feature I found really cool is the Waydroid and Boxbuddy integration. You can have Android apps installed alongside regular fedora apps. Just opens an Android emulator in the background. Discovered that last night by accident. Typed in “calculator” and it opened up the Android version of it. Really neat!
Bazzite is cool, but it is part of UBlue family, which I excluded in my post. I'm not a huge fan of Fedora, no offense to anyone using it, tho!
Ah my bad. Your post says “other that” instead of “other than” so I misread it as I skimmed 😛
What are your issues with Fedora? I'd really recommend giving one or more of the universal blue OSs ago regardless as they're pretty far from native Silverblue. Project Bluefin for instance has a solidly Ubuntu feel.
edit: reading your responses elsewhere I can guarantee you won't have the same update/reliability issues you had with Fedora because the universal blue model is entirely different
