What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?
I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

Could you explain what you find interesting about Silverblue ?
Updates can’t really break anything, and if something would go wrong, I can simply boot on the previous image, which will still be there. They can also happen in the background, such that I don’t even know it’s updating. It just happens and never bothers me.
What’s even more interesting is that you can rebase on another base image without having to worry. If I don’t like it, I can just go back to the previous image. With ublue, you can even customize your own OS image.
I believe modern Android uses a similar concept. They use two partitions, and install an update to the other image while your phone is running normally. Then all you need to do is reboot, and you’ll be on the new boot image.
I believe the Steam Deck also uses a similar concept too. It’s very valuable for a company to deliver system updates to appliance-type devices without the risk of breaking anything
Oh, ok. Thank you !
