I was thinking about going immutable for a long time and now I’m choosing a distro to hop to.
My question is: what are good immutable distros other than Fedora Silverblue spins, UBlue family and NixOS?
Maybe someone uses/used any? What is/was your experience with it?

    I’ve been using Opensuse Aeon just over a year and it’s done great.

    Tumbleweed user for the last 5 years, and dealt with a few issues over that time. The usually infrequent update break that comes with rolling release. And the Opensuse ‘Patterns’ started, which I loathe and it’s a disaster to try to disable them every install.

    Aeon hasn’t had any of those issues. It’s been very much a “turn it on and get to work”.

    I’ve generally had less issues with Aeon than Tumbleweed - like certain flatpaks not crashing.

    But downsides as I see them:

    I’m not a gnome guy. It’s fine though, I don’t hate it. But some people can’t stand it.

    I had a bit of trouble running wine. Something about the default security policy. There’s a known workaround.
