That's not actually what it provides. The app sandbox is also quite incomplete. It's definitely not the revolution that it appears to be from how it has been promoted. It's an incremental upgrade and not necessarily the right path.

Regular Fedora isn't that much different from a security perspective if you use them in a similar way. It comes across as if Silverblue is making it work like a more secure mobile OS security model but it's only part of the way towards resembling the approach of a mobile OS from 10 years ago.

Yeah. Doesn't seem to have gotten incredible traction, either. Step in the right direction.

How is it not that much different from a security perspective?
