Immutable is a new part of the distro world for me I kind of want to like it but last time I tried to setup one of those Atomic distros it didnt really work for me, I appreciate them for what they are but it made me realize what I personally wanted was Arch, bleeding edge so I always have up to date software.

Atomic distros would do it for me I think. Something very stable.

Course atomic distros make me think of Debian more than anything ;)

Atomic and update speed are orthogonal. And ex. https://blendos.co/ and https://arkanelinux.org/ are atomic Arch derivatives if that's your speed. (Not explicitly endorsing either, but they're there.)

Being an https://getaurora.dev (Universal Blue based) user I don't notice updates at all. I don't update, updates happen in the background. What difference does "speed" make then?

If someone finds a security vulnerability in software you're using, it would be really nice if you could get the update in the very next reboot instead of needing to wait a few weeks for it to come through
