Fedora Onyx: The Newest Immutable Version of Fedora with Budgie Desktop
If you’re a fan of Fedora Silverblue, Fedora Kinoite, and Fedora Sericea, get ready for the latest addition to the lineup – Fedora Onyx. This new immutable version of Fedora promises a faster and more stable desktop experience, similar to SteamOS on Steam Deck. With its approval by developer Joshua Strobl, Fedora Onyx is set to make its debut with the upcoming Fedora 39 release.
What is Fedora Onyx?
For those unfamiliar with the term, an immutable operating system is one where the main system remains the same across every installation. Instead of traditional upgrades, the entire system is updated as a whole, providing a more stable and efficient computing experience. Fedora Onyx is no exception, utilizing popular technologies like flatpak, rpm-ostree, podman, and toolbx, just like its sister versions Fedora Silverblue, Fedora Kinoite, and Fedora Sericea.
The Best of Both Worlds
Fedora Onyx is designed for those who appreciate the Fedora computing platform and the Budgie Desktop environment, but also require the robust immutability and atomic capabilities provided by rpm-ostree. This unique combination offers the best of both worlds, making it an increasingly popular choice for Linux users.
