Hey! I’m currently on Fedora Workstation and I’m getting bored. Nothing in particular. I’ve heard about immutable distros and I’m thinking about Fedora Kinoite. The idea is interesting but idk if it’s worth it. CPU and GPU are AMD. Mostly used for gaming.

    If you’re bored, try Nix. It has all the characteristics of an immutable distro, aims for reproducibility, and is complicated enough to keep you amused for months.

      Yeah I was thinking about it. Just feels like it might be too much for just day to day use. Without programming and having to reproduce the system on different machines. At least that’s what the comments say in few places lol

        Yah, I get that. But lots of people use Nix as a daily desktop driver because it’s immutable. It’s not hard to set up the first time with some example configs, and if you want to get more complicated, it’s certainly an interesting direction and great time sink.

        Frankly, I’d try it in a VM first, so you can snapshot it and play, and see what you think. I don’t use it myself but I’ve set it up a few times and it’s pretty cool to play with, I might get around to putting it on one of my bare metal desktops one day.

          Ugh stop tempting meeee lmao tbf if I set it up in a vm it’d be painless to move to bare metal since I’d have a config already
