I switched to https://getaurora.dev, also two years ago, and I'm not going back to a "normal" distro.

Can recommend Bazzite, Bluefin and Aurora which are derived from Atomic Fedora but come with niceties like distrobox and NVIDIA drivers (if you need them).

I tried Bazzite and it was absurdly, perceivably slower than Garuda on the same hardware. Either the immutable distro thing has way too much unavoidable overhead, or their Nvidia image is not tuned for desktop use.

TIL about distrobox. It seems like a really neat way to use containers with good host distro integration.

If I were to guess, maybe people dislike Flatpack in general? At least that seems to be the case on Reddit’s /r/linux
