I’ve seen a lot of talks on the benefits of immutable distros (specifically Fedora Silverblue) but it always seemed to me as more of a hassle. Has anyone here been daily driving an immutable distro? Would you say it’s worth the effort of getting into?

    I’ve migrated in a few days, and figured out the basics after a week or so. I’ve been using Linux on-and-off for about 11 years, but I don’t think that’s a requirement for NixOS :p

    I think the most killer features are the reproducability and the rollbacks directly from the bootloader to a previous generation. So even if your new system configuration won’t boot anymore, you’ll still be able to revert back without any external tools.

      Sounds cool. I think I will stay with Fedora and Ansible for now, it’s good enough™ for me right now. Will be interesting to see if the future will be something like NixOS or Fedora Silverblue
