i normally wouldn't consider distributions to be a diffrent OS , but i think fedora silverblue has been diffrent enough to be worth a mention.
immutable distros seem like a rather drastic change, but it hasn't been as jaring as i would have expected.
my biggest takeaway sofar has been, that flatpacks aren't as bad & slow as i thought.
the only issue i encountered with them has been the terminal in vscode,
which (understandably) starts in the flatpack env.
i found a workarround that immediatly enters my toolbox, but unfortunatly, that broke just now.
im still unsure about the tradeoffs that immutable distros bring, (imo thats hard to judge)
but so far nothing has steered me away from it.
if i where to stop using immutable distros,
id surely continue to rely on tool/distro boxes and flatpacks
im of course not a lawyer,
but id expect that there might be a diffrence between stuff breaking or not working as expected, and what sounds like intentional sabotage
indeed detonator
