Finally there's a general name for immutable Fedora. Creating a new name for each desktop variant is terrible because it's bot obvious what desktop it's actually using. Fedora Sway/Budgie Atomic is clear and concise. Sadly we're still stuck with Silverblue and Kinoite (which are good names, just not consistent).
Aren't they had different names? I guess Silverblue and Kinoite being older are not that easy to change, all documentation and even search results are about old names, would do great mess?
Yes, they're quite established and I believe there're quite a few contributors who do like those names. At the time they were branded Atomic Workstation the user base was quite small, as it was more of an experimental release (compared to systems running atomic flawlessly for years now).
Fedora Atomic Desktops is the umbrella term for Distros like
They have a different, image-based OS core, which is read-only when used. This is known as "immutable", but you can actually
rpm-ostree reset/var/home is mounted executable and everything is writable by the user. It is a start though.rpm-ostree/etc and /var are completely writablerpm-ostree install. Will be added to the system on every update and work just like on regular Fedora. Slow down updates, pull in often tons of dependencies and thus should be used sparsely[distrobox/toolbox] enter {name} -- {appname}, for example distrobox enter Fedora -- qgis. Distrobox automates the desktop entry creation, its simply cp /usr/share/applications/appname.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/ && sed -i 's/Exec=/Exec=toolbox enter {name} -- /g' ~/.local/share/applications/appname.desktop (and a bit more, just use Distrobox)There are also many more solutions. In theory you can make Snaps work, but just don't.
There are kata containers which are really fancy and in future will hopefully allow an isolated environment like on ChromeOS...
or you can run normal VMs (You can run libvirt (qemu qemu-kvm) in a rootful Distrobox, virt-manager in a rootless Distrobox and connect over ssh. Or just layer the packages)
You can use binaries like ffmpeg from the Flatpak runtimes.
Also have a look at secureblue, an ecosystem of Fedora Variants with highly improved Security, while perfectly usable.
