Announcing a new family of Fedora Linux spins: Fedora Atomic. This will simplify how to discuss rpm-ostree and naming of future atomic spins.
I think that atomic is a way better name than immutable imo
I feel that I am 50:50 on it, immutable at least conveyed more information about what it is while Atomic feels a lot more "buzz-word-y" and does not convey as well what it means. Regardless, I'd say the bigger issue is keeping the old Silverblue & Kinoite names, they really should change them even if it means having a ~2 year period of having "Formerly Silverblue / Kinoite".
Issue is that Immutable also conveyed a different type of information. When I first heard of it, I genuinely thought it was something like DeepFreeze for Windows
Are you familiar with the concept of “atomicity” in relation to database systems? It’s actually a very appropriate term, and the article touches on its use over “immutable”.
I was kinda warming up to the totally unintended slightly inconsistent mineral based naming scheme tbh. But then, hadn't fully...
I'm running Onyx (sorry... Fedora Budgie Atomic) on my Thinkpad and love it. Last night I decided to give Sway a shot and, when I was done with that, rolled back to Budgie without any of the cruft of installing additional DE's alongside each other.
Right? This is one of the main reasons I love Silverblue so much: every time I wanted to test something out, it's as quick and easy as it gets.
I tried Fedora Sway Atomic last week. It didn’t go well.
Yeah I had a similar experience when logging on to Sway - I had no clue what to do. Did you ever figure out how to bring up a menu or launcher? All I could do after googling was launch a terminal
But I went back to Plasma..
