I have run Fedora Silverblue on my workstation since 2021 at least and I wouldn’t go back to a regular distro ever. I’ll jump ship for an immutable distro not based on RPMs (or APT) which I loathe.

The secret is that all your power is within a distrobox container. All my dev tools, Emacs are in an Arch Linux container.

The difference between this and apple is that at the end of the day it still believes the user should hold the power. With Kalpa, you can persistently modify the operating system using transactional-update, you're just strongly advised to keep that to a minimum.
