The only sane Linux setup for a workstation is an immutable distro like Silverblue/Kinoite, and an Arch Linux toolbox (or any distro you prefer).

I will die on this hill, and whoever disagrees has never tried what honestly feels like the future. My Linux PC is as stable and reproducible as my iPhone.

One day I will finish my Fedora Silverblue master guide that has been a draft for months...

(No, sorry, NixOS ain't better.)

I can't figure out a decent workflow for Kinoite. It's probably a little bit too much work for me to change my habits right here right now. But I agree that this is a great setup and ultimately, what I want to aim to. Complete separation of user and OS, containerized apps everywhere, and so forth. But my quick trial of a few hours was too short to adapt. Also I love excel too much unfortunately.

NixOS is "better" in the sense that you can get pretty close to something like Silverblue with it if you tinker around.

But I agree with you that for the average user Silverblue surely is the the better platform, NixOS is for people how like to hack around and customize their environment.

immutable distro like Silverblue

I had never even heard these before! This sounds exactly like what I want!

I would love to read it!
