So we can clearly see the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them, please follow this format:

  • Write the name of the Linux distro as a first-level comment.
  • Reply to that comment with each reason you like the distro as a separate answer.

For example:

  • Distro (first-level comment)
    • Reason (one answer)
    • Other reason (a different answer)

Please avoid duplicating options. This will help us better understand the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them.

    It’s a really intriguing concept. One interesting point I saw someone make the other day is that you don’t necessarily need an explicitly immutable distro to achieve the affect. It’s more about your user habits and workflows. If I can’t find an alternative to Silverblue that I like, I’ll probably just go to Debian or Arch and make it “immutable” by not touching the base system at all and running apps with Flatpaks or distrobox containers.

      Huh, never thought about it like that. Please let us know how you get on if you decide to move away from SB.
