KDE Linux has an “immutable base OS”, shipped as a single read-only image. Btrfs is the base file system, Wayland is the display server, PipeWire is the sound server, Flatpak gets you apps, and Systemd is the glue to hold everything together.
I’ve been interested in the immutable OSes like Bazzite, but I haven’t tried any yet. Anyone else have experience with it?
Thank you for sharing your experiences. It was an interesting and in-depth read.
I have moderate Linux experience. I used it in University and can do basic things in the terminal, but I don’t have the best foundational Linux knowledge. My laptop is currently on Opensuse TW and was wondering if it was worth keeping it, or if my life would be simpler on an immutable distro.
I would like to use it for programming, game development (Godot) and music production (Reaper / MuseScore and Kontakt). Getting these working in Opensuse was finicky, but I got it done, and now I’m wondering if it’s worth blowing that up to start over.
Thanks again!
