It's definitely getting there.

I found the regular Fedora SilverBlue install did not give enough flexibility to be very usable. The suggestion to just use toolkits is not for mortals. I copied Bazzite and installed homebrew (coming from Mac, that's comfortable). Brew solved 95% of the pain.

The next annoying 4% was stuff that doesn't work well with flatpack: Steam, gamescope, password managers, etc.

Then there's a final 1% of the masses of content written about Fedora using rpm and dnf that just kinda doesn't work. Makes stuff like following a build guide or install steps a little bit more annoying.

The really nice thing about it though is I was able to switch between different fedora environments and bazzite with relatively little pain. Nothing really broke, which was great.

If the future of the desktop is linux, it needs immutable distros to get really good. Personally, I wouldn't want to go back to fully-root-editable linux, but I also do not blame the folks (who want to) to be able to nuke systemd and Wayland (which both do too much for my taste) and do their own thing.
