I have been trying some of the immutable linux OSes because from what I understand they are more modern and feature better security and reliability. What I have found so far is shocking. Half of these don’t support my laptop (probably because it’s nvidia optimus). Some I tried like guix were very difficult to install, configure, and use with sprase documentation. Good luck trying to use KDE, wayland, or pipewire for example. BlendOS was notably better and could at least run on my laptop but chocked with nvidia driver issues.

I have switched to pop os on my laptop for now but looking at alternatives and what to install on my desktop.

    Bazzite - it’s part of the ublue family derived from fedora but with extras including extra drivers.

    Edit: you also get some immutable distros that don’t need flatpaks like nix os and guix. They are much more difficult to work with though.

        Yeah it seems to work well on my desktop with an AMD card. They have a variet for Asus laptops with Nvidia GPUs, so hopefully it will be easy to setup if I go that route. For now I am keeping Pop_OS! on my laptop as it seems fairly useful.
