  • Personally found an immutable distro to be too restrictive at the moment when it comes to installing non flatpak software. If all your apps are flatpaks then everything just works and its great and super stable however some apps I just couldn’t get working with distrobox. Switch to fedora workstation from ublue aurora and have loved it. Been super stable and everything just works
