I recently switched my server over to running Plex and Home Assistant in Docker. I like the ease of transfer (just move my compose file and one directory where I have stored all the configs and I’m set) as well as the simple permissions management to give access to directories.

I have only used Fedora briefly, but I am considering it instead of my usual openSUSE because it is “officially supported” for the Framework 13 I have on order. I saw the immutable versions and the idea seems cool though I don’t really understand what new I would need to learn or really what benefits it would have.

Is the concept overkill for a single-user laptop?

    If Fedora runs fine, I see no reason why openSUSE wouldn’t. Friends of mine use regular Manjaro with the same Framework. Just keep using openSUSE if that’s what you feel most comfortable with.

    I used Silverblue for a bit but got very annoyed by its rpm-ostree command. I think it’s too complicated for a simple single user setup.

      Why did you find the need to use the rpm-ostree command¿? Isn’t the purpose of immutability to use flatpaks and containers to get all your apps/software

          Well for me it auto updates and stages in the background. There is config file /etc/rpm-ostreed.conf in which you can set the AutomaticUpdatePolicy to stage. Then it will automatically check for updates once a day(I think) and will download and stage it. The update is then applied when you shutdown or reboot

            If things changed for the better, great. Still think that for a single user setup Silverblue is a bit of an overkill.
