Dude, right? I've thought about switching to cachy or something, but every time I just can't bring myself to give up ostree.
Silverblue manages to be exciting yet boring.
As in, it is great for everyday work yet still uses newfangled tech under the hood.
I think I'm lucky in that I only had about 1.5-2 years of experience with an Arch-based distro (EndeavourOS) before switching to Bazzite, so I didn't have to unlearn years (if not decades) of traditional Linux work flows before trying to grasp the new tech.
And I love it. Anything that I've wanted to tinker with so far has been tinkerable, it's often just a different process than on a non-atomic or immutable distro.
And aside from that, it's insanely stable. It's almost impossible to break it by accident, and if you do, it has instant, failsafe rollbacks.
Anyway, I know I don't have to sell you on it lol.
The other day I was looking into "Blue Build" which allows to build your own custom Universal Blue spins, as I was wondering if it were possible to have Bazzite but with the Cachy kernel.
I think that's a bit over my head at the moment though haha
