prefer KDE. Currently testing Nitrux. Any other options
As others have said, there’s Vanilla and Endless, but both use GNOME.
Is there a reason why it has to be Debian? With an immutable distro, you won’t be using traditional package managers anyway (like
apt), all have the same stability factor, and with the same systemd + KDE, it’s more or less the same experience regardless of which distro you go for.One of the key usage patterns of an immutable distro is using a container to install your extra packages. So you could go for a Fedora-based immutable KDE distro like Kinoite, and set up a Debian container where you can use
aptand other Debian tools.I don’t get the whole immutable hype. Sounds like it’s just more a PITA to use
Depends on the use case. I played around with it a lot and came to the conclusion that I don’t like flatpaks and the base system is not flexible enough for me.
I use it as a self-updating desktop for my parents tho,. For that it’s absolutely perfect.
Let me try Kionite.
Not debian based, but is KDE - Fedora Kionite
Have a look at this repository https://github.com/castrojo/awesome-immutable
It has a very nice list of immutable distributions you can check out!
If you want another Debian based name, one can be EndlessOS. But it runs GNOME instead.
Vanilla OS is moving to Debian with version 2. I don’tthink they have a KDE version, though.
There is a KDE flavor in development for vanilla but its not publicly available yet
Ah, that’s good to know. Thanks for the info!
VanillaOS looks interesting - it uses Gnome by default, though.
BTRFS snapshots :P
