What’s everyone using?
I’m running Tumbleweed, personally. I like the rolling release model, I think it supports my use case better than point releases. And OpenSUSE has the smoothest, most pleasant rolling release available IMO.

Aeon seems very interesting to me, I just haven’t quite wrapped my head around an immutable desktop or why that’s something desirable. Admittedly, I haven’t done my homework…
So what is it about Aeon that draws you to it over Tumbleweed?
@aRatherDapperFox It’s rolling, its automatic updating, stability and simplicity of installing programs.👍
I feel like I get all those same features with Tumbleweed, save automatic updating which I handle myself out of preference. What about Aeon makes it simpler to install programs, for example? Like I said, I definitely haven’t done my homework.
Does Aeon play well with being in a VM? I may give that a spin and see what’s up.
@aRatherDapperFox it is the gnome store and you don’t have to deal with libraries or repositories. I have never tried it with VM but it should work without dramas. The issue of Aeon:
Stability: Being an immutable OS and the system is read-only so it avoids problems that a user can give, this leads to the eternal issue of libraries and their compatibility with these.(1-3)
@aRatherDapperFox Speaking of libraries this also helps that updates are more secure without possible system breaks and if something happens, automatically returns to a previous snap without the user doing anything.
Auto-update: we had already talked about it, again the user does not intervene directly
And it is rolling and we know how beautiful and comfortable that system is. Summary: (2-3)
@aRatherDapperFox Stability: By dealing with Libraries and being a read-only system -Auto-update
Installation of programs. If you notice it is a system that the user does not maintain (like the normal versions of linux), it is to install your software and forget about the system.(3-3)
