My prediction: bazzite may have more installs than Fedora KDE by the end of the year.

I control a htpc with an Xbox gamepad. Bazzite I don’t even think about updates, it just happens instead of saying “should probably update” and unplugging my nose and keyboard from my other PC. Or leaving mouse and keyboard sit on the floor in front of my tv cabinet.
Most handheld suppliers are shipping windows, replacing it with an immutable system is definitely the way to go. On screen keyboards are play I guess, but even my experience just doing a regular distro on a tablet it was a hassle.
Look, I’m not going into detail on this anymore. But I want to say I’m surprised by how much people are pushing back. “Oh instead of using bazzite, you could setup rsync to do an a/b switch with your server if something goes wrong”. (Elsewhere in these comments).
I just didn’t think it would be so much for people to accept there are use cases for why people do things differently to them.
I’m happy there are use cases. Another person told me to look at rpm-ostree and it looks pretty nice.
But for what you’re saying I do not understand: how is an immutable server better than a normal one. You can setup auto updates; I do not see how rsync would help with that.
I imagine safe backup is nice, but for that you still have to connect keyboard and mouse on an htpc. Possibly not into a managed server, but there you have other layers of resilience anyway.
Sure, you likely have to do less things to fix it; but at this point the annoyance of having to move the keyboard to another room is much greater than 15 minutes figuring out what is wrong and how to fix it.,
Sorry, I’m not pushing back because I dislike the idea. I’ve been introduced to the rpm-ostree and It seems a good idea to me, maybe there’s more nice ideas to find out.
