Immutable distro resources https://github.com/castrojo/awesome-immutable

Fedora is probably the most mature immutable desktop distro right now, both Silverblue (Gnome) and Kinoite (KDE). I use Kinoite on my Thinkpad x270 and it's been perfect so far.

Ubuntu will release its own version, Ubuntu Core Desktop, “soon” (got delayed earlier this year)

Another interesting one is Bazzite. Inspired by the Steam Deck OS but runs on Fedora (instead of the Steam Deck's Arch) with all the possible Nvidia, AMD, and other gaming enhancements enabled https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/

Don't forget the swaywm variant.

What is this.

Skim through this survey: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3386/paper9.pdf

Basically, most of the system is read-only and updates/rollbacks are atomic.

This approach means classical distributions can enjoy some of the advantages of NixOS.

Manjaro is an Arch Linux-based distro. It has an experimental immutable implementation which is now out for community testing.

"immutable" is the part I'm not sure I understand. Does it mean you can roll back upgrades to any package, like in Nix?
