I am not sure how i feel about it in general so far, nixos package manager seems pretty powerful. But im not one to jump on flatpaks. Is this the future of linux though?

Depends on your usage, if you use only flatpak, fedora silverblue would be perfect. If you want to manage multiple computers or you're customizing it, switch to nixos and you won't look back.

But both are different than traditional distros, especially nix. If you already are advanced user of linux, you'd have problems with anything more than installing apps on nix for first time.

With the recent fedora change, do you think it would be worth it to use an immutable distro for servers?
