With rpm-ostree systems (Fedora and derivatives), you do. Well, technically you can apply them live, but it is highly inadvisable to do so, and sometimes you actually can’t at all

I use the terminal for updates too, I just use the store when I want to install new software, and that’s how I noticed. There was also a dead icon on my taskbar.

Yeah, I have the same experience. Barring sudden changes to included softwares (like changing Discover out for Bazaar), my Bazzite installation just works without any intervention, and major version updates are applied in regular updates.

I find that I have to adjust files that would be immutable quite often for servers. The immutability tends to get in the way of configuring some parts of the system, and having to reboot to apply updates results in downtime.

I can’t imagine anyone would want the former, either. We’ve seen how horrendously insecure vibe-coded projects are, just look at Tea as an example.

I’d agree with that take. I think that immutable distros can appeal to everyone, and after a decade of Linux use, I feel I’ve toned back how much I need to edit the finer details of my system. I still thoroughly customize my desktop environment, but small tweaks to the root filesystem are generally unnecessary for me. /etc isn’t immutable (at least not in Bazzite), and that’s where much of my customization happens, at least what’s outside of my home folder. I find myself writing plenty of bash scripts that I can just keep in ~/.local/bin/ instead of /usr/local/bin/. Beyond that, KDE has so much customization built in, that the only thing I’ve done before that required an overlay to change was the login screen background, which was a simple conf edit with a one-liner overlay command, and has been rock solid ever since.

I think the main difference is that immutable distros just require you to think differently about how you customize your system. You can do anything you want to it with overlays, but I find that I simply don’t need to do any of those things with a distro like Bazzite. It already has gaming-oriented kernel tweaks, including tweaks to the scheduler, so I’m getting what I would have done anyway, but done in a way that is tested and stable. Granted, I’m sure some of it depends on which immutable distro you use, but that’s true of mutable distros as well.

I’d like to make a counter point to this. I’m an enthusiast who hosts my own servers and has been using Linux for well over a decade exclusively. I personally love having Bazzite on my main desktop, as it always works as expected. Of course, I wouldn’t use immutable on my servers, but I think it’s perfectly fine for a desktop OS. I always have rpm-ostree overlays if/when I need to change something immutable, though I’ve found myself not really needing to do so. I get by with only making changes to my home folder.

Immutable distros just have a great user experience, and don’t ever break on their own. I personally recommend them to everyone for desktop use.

Yet another example of why you should never consider anything an LLM says as fact. This is entirely false, and you can verify it yourself by checking most other Hebrew posts. Grok just regurgitates what other people say; it has no idea what is going on, and isn’t capable of even having ideas in the first place. This was a glitch in the translation feature, and nothing more. The original screenshot saying Hebrew isn’t supported for translation isn’t even from X; it’s an Apple Translate popup, and Hebrew is not yet supported for translation through Apple Translate.

Besides, the logic makes no sense. X supports any and all far-right content and actively promotes it. This includes the genocide in Gaza. This doesn’t even pass the smell test.

Of course, don’t play too far or they’ll think you’re just playing “hard to get” because these men have it in their minds that every woman wants to sleep with them, and the ones that don’t are a “conquest”.

Unsplash is a great place to find wallpapers, and I highly recommend it. Do note that some require premium, but there are a lot of free options (most are free) that are available in very high resolutions!

I don’t have one. In its place I have a meta key with a diamond design on the keycap. Why would I need a “Windows” key if I haven’t used Windows in over a decade?

Checks out. I, too, would self-destruct if I were forced to please men–that’s one of the reasons why I’m so unapologetically gay (and feminist).
