I use Fedora KDE as my laptop distro and have been interested in Silverblue/immutable versions. However I am not a developer so I’m not sure if it would offer any real benefit to my use case. Mostly use my laptop for web browsing and file transfers to my NAS.

I’ve seen people say that immutable is the future of Linux, can someone explain that if they can?

Does that mean one day all versions of Fedora will be immutable? Is it a security benefit?



In my limited experience, I'd say the immutable spins are even better for non-developers. Getting developer tooling going in Silverblue was enough of a hassle for me to disregard it, for the time being.


I have a SDK that I need to git clone from a repository, and then run a script file from the SDK to fetch the actual tools for my build environment.

Am I right in saying that kind of development environment would be hard to use and maintain in Silverblue?
