    @LemmyPistolero Expect a learning curve either way - Fedora isn’t the easiest distro out there - but you’ll likely find Fedora Workstation easier to use than Silverblue. Silverblue is experimental, and will make it impossible to follow some online guides, and possibly limit the software available to you.

      @f00fc7c8 @LemmyPistolero workstation. It is full featured and easily added or subtracted to by a new user.

    @LemmyPistolero
    Interesting question. I’ve used workststion for quite a while and it always worked. But now I’m thinking of testing silverblue and from what I read on fedora’s website it should not make any difference for the user.
    The immutability only protects you from (accidently) messing in the depth of your system. Regular use is safe in both distros. Maybe you get fewer apps in flatpak than in rpm.
    I was wondering wether there is a difference in ressource consumption (RAM, CPU).

        Never used Silverblue, but it seems as you can just run AppImages without any problems. AppImages aren’t “installable” per se, as they kinda work like portable executables in Windows: you just download it from the Internet, make the file executable, and bam, you can run it from anywhere. There are, however, AppImage “installers” that put your AppImages on a dedicated folder and make an app shortcut for it in your desktop environment, such as https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
