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.

I was thinking about going immutable for a long time and now I'm choosing a distro to hop to.
My question is: what are good immutable distros other than Fedora Silverblue spins, UBlue family and NixOS?
Maybe someone uses/used any? What is/was your experience with it?

I had rhe idea fedora atomic was so reliable, ,but I just updated a system and it broke... Reminded me of my manjaro times😑

How did it break, and what doesn't work any more?

I've been using Fedora Atomic on at least one device for years now, without any major issues (I.e. device no booting or updating. Upgrades do require some manual intervention).

I upgraded with rpm-ostree upgrade and then it doesnt boot. Some error with the kernel. Im sorry I dont have the info where I am, as it is not my computer. Good thing is I can still boot old image, its on grub.
