I decided to try out Bluefin, and it worked pretty well for 6 months. Then an update broke both the ostree branches somehow. Just black screens instead of finding/mounting root. It seems like something that could be fixed with the grub config, but I thought the point of an atomic distro was that an update wouldn’t break it.
So I reinstalled debian instead of figuring out what happened with bluefin. I also hated having to restart after every update.
The upside to immutable is you can’t unintentionally change the system to break it. The downside to immutable is you can’t intentionally change the system to fix it, if it somehow does break from updates
