I second this recommendation! I'd consider immutably a requirement here. For a little more stability, I'd stay one version behind the current release of Fedora (last 3 are supported at any time). So when 49 comes out, I'd stay on 39 and only update to 40 when 41 releases about 6 months later.

Unfortunately this is why I chose to run Ubuntu server. As far as I know, it's the only distro with ZFS set up by default. I wish you luck, as I run Silverblue as my desktop and would love to run it for my server too!
I can't believe how well Helldiver's 2 has worked for me. My friend on Windows has crashed all the time and the anti-cheat is super intrusive. But on Linux, literally no problems. No launch flags or anything, just click play in Steam.
Definitely a highlight of this timeline!
I use Fedora Silverblue and I love that my system is exactly the default out of the box distro, with just a couple diffs that are tracked in rom-ostree.
I've had frustrations in the past where I install packages to try something, then remove them and forever have something hanging around. Eventually one of those things inevitably breaks an upgrade or dependency resolve.
Installing apps as flatpacks is fine. I don't love the duplication of system files, but do love that the apps aren't tied to my distro version.
I also like that all updates happen silently in the background and I just reboot once a week or so. Never think about it.
I feel like the Fedora Atomic distros are great for people who mostly just want a working system and not to tinker endlessly. You can tinker, but it isn't the default and it's basically impossible to get into a bad state permanently.
Agreed - I'm much happier with my /files directory. Not to mention I have no interest in organizing my files by type (photos, documents, music). Instead I have directories like house, finances, podcasts, etc.
I just wish programs wouldn't take the XDG directories so seriously and default to those locations. I'd rather they always default to last saved directory.
Have you tried rpm-ostree apply-live? https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/apply-live/
