nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 what's your view on the direction of atomic #Linux distros, like #Fedora Silverblue, where the root OS is sealed in an immutable boot image that is only updated via atomic transactions, and all user space is pushed into containers via Flatpak and toolbx?

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.
I need to look into toolbx. I primarily use Flatpaks but I'm confused by how the rest of the apps get installed.
