So we can clearly see the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them, please follow this format:
- Write the name of the Linux distro as a first-level comment.
- Reply to that comment with each reason you like the distro as a separate answer.
For example:
- Distro (first-level comment)
- Reason (one answer)
- Other reason (a different answer)
Please avoid duplicating options. This will help us better understand the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them.
It’s a really intriguing concept. One interesting point I saw someone make the other day is that you don’t necessarily need an explicitly immutable distro to achieve the affect. It’s more about your user habits and workflows. If I can’t find an alternative to Silverblue that I like, I’ll probably just go to Debian or Arch and make it “immutable” by not touching the base system at all and running apps with Flatpaks or distrobox containers.
