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.

Fedora Silverblue
I use the Bluefin flavor of Silverblue. I like not having to tinker with my laptop to keep it working, everything happens in the background.
Same here, I use Silverblue as host OS on all of my workstations now, and Arch for nearly all of my containers.
Flatpak for just about everything in the userspace.
I was using Debian and Docker for my servers, but I'm switching to uCore and Podman. It was a decent learning curve, but I think I'm going to like it better.
What do people use for command line utilities? The selection on flatpak is a bit sparse
Options include:
brew; this is setup, enabled and configured correctly by default on uBlue projects like Aurora, Bazzite and Bluefin.nixto this effect.rpm-ostree.i am kinda the opposite of you, i find flatpacks meh its alright.
I love flatpak. No more dependency hell!
While true... RIP disk space.
That's false
I see being facetious is lost. Yes I know they don't use a lot of space, however, they do package all their own dependencies. That means you do end up with duplicates.
Appimages do. Flatpaks have runtimes. There may be multiple runtimes but space is cheap. You can even spare the amount of space on a phone.
I once thought I should compress my images because they had 10mb each. I was wrong. I just had to put them on my server with immich and I don't care about the space anymore. One 4k video is so big, all space related problems with apps or images are a real waste of time.
SSDs have become incredibly cheap, and flatpak doesn't even use that much storage space.
