There are a slew of images built on Fedora Silverblue and a lot of them are very interesting. The ability to rebase in and out of base images safely and atomically is really powerful and liberating. If you haven’t tried an “immutable” distribution, I would highly recommend it. It really does feel like the most logical way to run Linux with zero fuss and maximum flexibility and safety,

I overlaid bluefin-dx [1], the developer oriented build by ublue, over my Fedora Silverblue system and it's been pretty great so far. Feels a little bloated for my taste, which is why I started my own fork [2]. The ability to change things up in a layered way (basically a Dockerfile) without risking breaking anything at the host level is really nice!

How customizable can you customize the theme on your system with an immutable distro? I don't know how immutable distros work but seems like they would run afoul of people who like to really customize their experience.

People tend to over rotate on the term "immutable", which is why Fedora and Universal Blue use terms like atomic and composable.

Themes work like they do in normal Fedora.
