Immutability just means the system files can’t be edited easily. Basically every time you update you’re updating the entire OS all at once. Which is a good way to keep things stable while also modern!

Unless there’s an application not available via Appimage or Flatpak (“app store”), most users will never even come up against the immutability aspect.

Are you kidding? It’s excellent as an everyday desktop! It is basically Fedora Kinoite with a bunch of quality of life stuff for gaming.

Very cool!

Don’t get me wrong I love what Zorin is doing but I still think Bazzite is going to be much more “set it and forge it” for gaming than Zorin.

Zorin is great for a grandma, but for someone who knows computers I think it’s too simple.

So I actually ended up trying it out, and DistroShelf, Tailscale, OpenRazer and Solaar were not preinstalled. Not sure if I missed an option or not during install but I don’t think so 🤔

Bazarr is also on default Kinoite. So it seems the differences are relatively minor. Which is not a bad thing. Kinoite is one of the best out there IMO.

What makes Aurora different than Fedora Kinoite?
