What are the pros and cons for desktops ? EDIT : Thanks all. I’ll try Silverblue, bazzite and more.

    If you want to tinker with the system, if you want to install multiple DEs, if you want to test and change things on your own, you may not like the rigidity of atomic systems.

    If you don’t want to tinker with your system and you always want to have a working system, go for it.

    In the future it will become easier to tinker with the system (I hope that it doesn’t take the path of android). I hope that more happens within containers and that it mature even more. Maybe the de within a distrobox? That would be awesome but I don’t no the downside of it.

    Right now you are still an early adopter. It sounds like the future and for many it will be, but who know what’s next. Especially companies have an interest in fedora’s atomic distros with ostree.

      I’ve been using microos exactly because I like to tinker. Just the other day I installed plasma 6 to play around with the HDR implementation, then decided that it wasn’t worth it and rolled everything back. Worse case scenario I might have needed to reset kde configs in my home directory, but even that want necessary.
