Any recommendations for a rolling-release immutable distro? Or does that not matter?

I haven't distrohopped in a while and I just might after hearing about Fedora Sericea (Immutable Fedora with swaywm). I just need to understand this whole immutable thing more, because I kind of get the idea but I don't understand basic things like how to install packages, for example.

Also, any way to install packages in an environment and not have it create config files in your home directory, but instead in a temporary directory? Like when you wanna test software but have to clean stuff up later, it's annoying

i don't think lemmy markdown supports tables, though it should

edit: lemmy uses commonmark which doesn't appear to support tables

Related: does anyone here have any thoughts on Tutanota and how it compares to Proton Mail? I've considered using it in the future.

For Privacy and Security: I personally chose to switch back to Windows

Ah, Microsoft Windows™, the OS known for its excellent privacy and security.

In it, there aren't any viruses or malware that could infect your computer. It uses an amazing package manager, Microsoft Store, which contains all necessary apps, meaning you won't have to install any insecure software manually ever again. Unlike that OS for nerds, Linux, which has tracking and ads everywhere so hackers can hack your bank account.

The best operating system is Microsoft Windows™, known for being modern, and not having any old GUIs mixed with the new ones for extra inconsistency. It overhauls everything while having perfect backwards compatibility that works 95.36743% of the time!

What is true OOP?

if you want a shell that needs less configuration and has more features, i recommend fish shell.

for bash, you could search for someone else's bashrc, copy that, and modify until it works how you want it to.

usually it's an appimage, i mistakenly said binary. although there are programs that offer ELF binaries, in that case you can try running it. if it doesn't run, check the list of runtime dependencies for the program and install what is necessary using your package manager.

Or just download a binary if the program offers one
