I actually agree. My desktop is vanilla GNOME. I'm one of those degenerates that actually like libadwaita. The experience is unified and gorgeous (or a total abomination, as you see fit). That's the beauty of Linux.
Oh, Iโm also super excited about the snap-based Ubuntu Core Desktop. That project, after the egregious bugs it will come with are ironed out, could be amazing. It could give us a Linux desktop with the robustness of Android.
I agree, immutability is the way forward. I used Silverblue for nearly a year, it was awesome. And VanillaOS also looks really cool, but haven't tried it yet. But I'm hard no on the Snaps tho...
That's totally fine. I have no problem with RH going with their own solution. It might prove to be the better one. Personally knowing what I know about both I'm betting on snap to pull off the better result on a technical level. That said the strength of communities has led to adopting different stacks regardless of their technical merits. And that will be fine too. After all Debian and Ubuntu run systemd today don't they. Maintainers were pretty split on that decision. :D
