I saw someone on r/linux recently with a Fedora Silverblue install with all apps installed through Flatpak.

We're getting there.

Edit: CoreOS -> Silverblue. Thanks to LeoPanthera.

Have been using Silverblue for the past few years as my daily driver. Definitely a game changer, have all of my apps installed in a toolbox or via Flatpak. Can honestly say I have never had a system this stable before.

I started using it a couple of weeks ago and while I love the idea, I still feel there is some unsolved issues. I.e. Powerline does not work that well, accessing serial ports (microcontroller programming) requires a weird hack that is not fully working.

It is definitely usable and even good, but there is edge cases that ere not figured out, I feel. It needs more blog Posts, Docs, Tutorials ...

Which troubles that you had before did turn out fixed with Silverblue for you?

Isn't that Fedora Silverblue, not CoreOS?

Yep, thanks for the fix. I don't do much in Fedora-land these days.
