Opinions on immutable distros
Hey! I’m currently on Fedora Workstation and I’m getting bored. Nothing in particular. I’ve heard about immutable distros and I’m thinking about Fedora Kinoite. The idea is interesting but idk if it’s worth it. CPU and GPU are AMD. Mostly used for gaming.

This is why fedora had a little bar after rebooting when I updated right? What am I a Windows user?!? This is the extent of my understanding of immutable distros and I am furious with them.
I don't know what you mean with your comment?
The progress bar on Gnome-based distros like Fedora and Ubuntu was their offline install.
This increases the likelihood of a successful update without borking your system.
You can always deactivate that or update via terminal.
It has nothing to do with immutable OSs. Actually, most of them even update without you noticing, which is quite convenient imo!
I was mostly joking and I might have been mis-attributing the delay. From the time's I've had Fedora, including with KDE, if I update I have a pause during the next boot where I have to let the install finish before getting back to functional. My belief was that this was because the immutable system could not be running while updating, compared to non-immutable where a standard reboot works with a new kernel et al.
