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 sees a massive jolt in installs in late June and early July, catapulting it to over 86k active devices. It has doubled the number of active devices since November. (lemmy.ml)

Upstream images vs bazzite: https://github.com/ublue-os/countme/blob/main/growth_upstream_with_bazzite.svg

My prediction: bazzite may have more installs than Fedora KDE by the end of the year.

I'm happy there are use cases. Another person told me to look at rpm-ostree and it looks pretty nice.

But for what you're saying I do not understand: how is an immutable server better than a normal one. You can setup auto updates; I do not see how rsync would help with that.

I imagine safe backup is nice, but for that you still have to connect keyboard and mouse on an htpc. Possibly not into a managed server, but there you have other layers of resilience anyway.

Sure, you likely have to do less things to fix it; but at this point the annoyance of having to move the keyboard to another room is much greater than 15 minutes figuring out what is wrong and how to fix it.,

Sorry, I'm not pushing back because I dislike the idea. I've been introduced to the rpm-ostree and It seems a good idea to me, maybe there's more nice ideas to find out.
