Why are you choosing Fedora over Mint or vice versa? What distro do you use and why?

    I currently use Fedora Silverblue, mainly because of the easy rollback, and because it makes package management easier. I like having a default base to add and remove from (and being able to easily rebase onto a different spin). That said, regular Fedora and Mint are both solid distros.

    I like the idea of immutable systems. They allow you to rollback updates/package installs, they break less often and it keeps the system away from the apps.

    I’ve never had an issue with it since I started to use it and I will probably never look back.

      On Kinoite now and loving it, my next planned direction is ublue, because I really want to go the cloud native desktop route. I might even try and see if I can get my desktop stuff into a separate container running ontop of minimal coreos style system. Then building a new system, attach to new tty, and switching to see if I like it, will be my default tinkering path. Basically extend the toolbox concept to take care of the gui desktop space too.

      If you like immutable systems, you might want to check out Fedora Kinoite if you haven’t already.

        I used kinoite before switching to uBlue Bluefin and it’s what made me like immutable systems a lot.

        I switched to it because I wanted to try it out, mainly because of the ubuntu-like desktop experience
