I’m trying to figure out primary distro for framework 16. Currently using fedora for about year. I’ve package installation automated through ansible so technically using new distro is not big hassle still want to see if there is any other way of easily distro-hoping on bare metal.
I’m long time user of Ubuntu and now pop os so that’s one option and other is bazzite (or similar immutable). I would like to try at least those 2.
If you install one of the Fedora Atomic distros e.g., Silverblue, you can rebase to other atomic distros e.g., Bazzite very simply with a single command and reboot.
Oh interesting, I may need to look into atomic distro more. As of now I don’t understand what are features, pros/cons. I’ll read up but it’s definitely looking like way forward for me. If u have resources please link them.
The basic idea is read-only system files with flatpak for apps. A ‘rebase’ more or less downloads another system image to boot into. You can even rollback to prior images i.e., rollback to Silverblue.
The Fedora project explains it better and has additional resources here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/atomic-desktops/
Thanks
