Making a LFS distro already show you all the GNU mess! Why another distro?

Everybody's bashing snaps but you can literally package drivers as snaps. If you don't think that's cool af I don't know what is.

Just curious because Distrowatch can be easily gamed; does anyone know how this might affect the linux consumer market? I'm using Mint and see no reason to switch to this. I used to nerd out about different distros but aside from the enterprise distros or Debian or Arch preferences I don't see why people are using smaller distros anymore. Hobbyist i guess?

I vote to kill snap

Snap? Can we not?

This article is far too hypey. One dude has started this initiative and needs people to work on his concept to get it off the ground. I'm not opposed to a red-hat free immutable system, but this one is so far from maturity this article is selling a first drawing like an almost finished product. Remind me in two years how this went.

Will they be using btrfs snapshots or subvolumes to make it immutable?

I think gnome is working on the same sort of thing, read here.

I'm glad to see both going for an immutable os with flatpaks. It's so much more user friendly for the average person and if you are more technically inclined distrobox makes it a breeze to use it like a regular linux desktop.

I hope both do well

Man, I almost want to say "I love it". Remove the "snap" and the "immutable" and I'm all in.
_{Almost there} 🤏🏽

I thought we all agreed that "immutable" is a confusing term and that we should call it "atomic"

Ooo damn that sounds exactly what I'd like to try.

On the other hand I feel like I'm too old for this shit. My system works fine, I understand everything, and things rarely break and never in an unrecoverable way.
