From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As others have said, there's Vanilla and Endless, but both use GNOME.

Is there a reason why it has to be Debian? With an immutable distro, you won't be using traditional package managers anyway (like apt), all have the same stability factor, and with the same systemd + KDE, it's more or less the same experience regardless of which distro you go for.

One of the key usage patterns of an immutable distro is using a container to install your extra packages. So you could go for a Fedora-based immutable KDE distro like Kinoite, and set up a Debian container where you can use apt and other Debian tools.

I don't get the whole immutable hype. Sounds like it's just more a PITA to use

Depends on the use case. I played around with it a lot and came to the conclusion that I don't like flatpaks and the base system is not flexible enough for me.

I use it as a self-updating desktop for my parents tho,. For that it's absolutely perfect.

At furst it's PITA but once you understand the workflow, it's awesome. Imo,better tgan traditional
