NixOS

  • "The new Arch"
  • Very customizable and minimalist
  • Semi-Immutable
  • Huge community and very old
  • Very different than others
  • Config-based
  • Not very (new) user friendly, wouldn’t use it. Too complicated for me

BlendOS

  • Doesn’t offer much new stuff for me, nothing they offer is substantial for me.
  • Small dev team

VanillaOS

  • "The new Linux Mint"
  • Huge focus on usability and user friendliness
  • Apx is basically only a wrapper for distrobox
  • Small dev team (the same one that also develops Bottles)
  • Huge potential, but not quite there yet
  • Will recommend it to new users when it’s updated to 2.0

Silverblue

  • My recommendation
  • Is one of the oldest immutables and very well thought out
  • Biggest dev and userbase
  • You can not only install Flatpaks, but also everything else with Distrobox and rpm-ostree
  • Best feature: you can easily rebase to it’s other spins or the custom ones from uBlueI just rebased this weekend from the SB to the Kinoite-Spin in just one command. I was able to “change distro” without resinstalling, and KDE was installed very cleanly without leftovers.
