Ahhh, I remember my days of wearing the sackcloth and ashes of Slack. I would go back to that purity. But I'm now old and far too lazy.

Since Flatpaks are a thing now, it's almost like one of those newfangled immutable distros:

Do a default full install, so you have the same system the devs use for testing.
Install flatpak.
Install all your apps as flatpaks.
Never worry about dependencies or package management in general ever again.

I'm running Fedora 40 Atomic Budgie on a little micro desktop for fun right now. IMO, it's not quite ready for prime time just yet. I do appreciate the simple ability to roll back at boot if something does go wrong. I've done it once after an update and it was nice. The next day a new update was pushed to fix the error in the update and on I went on my merry way.

On the other hand, there is a general sluggishness and a feeling of malaise to the system as time goes on. It's not a show stopper. But it does not spark joy either. Budgie ran a whole lot faster and smoother as a "standard" install. And I'm not installing a lot of extra software and they are all installed as Flatpaks or I have 3 pieces installed as appImages. So it's all just updates.

The real test will come when Fedora shifts from 40 to 41 and I upgrade the distro. Will it be as "immutable" as they brag about.
