Immutable distros are perfectly fine for 99% of use cases and are far less likely to be broken by and end user following poorly made guides on the internet.
I’m asking as a long time Mac user, just tried Linux this year, and have settled on atomic fedora and bazzite, so looking to learn not imply I know more than you or anything like that. I’m just very sold on them and the ostree idea.
Basically, traditional Linux allows you to mess around every part of it and even completely break it if you weren’t careful enough.
This is really great and powerful for people that knows what they’re doing, but for 99% of users, the ability to change the underlying operating system is not really necessary.
It’s a fad at best. And immutable distros are awful outside of extremely ridged use cases.
It basically is just a worse version of normal fedora or cachy OS.
It tries to both and successfully does neither job as well.
It gives the "it just works"Ness that a Linux gaming distro for Linux noobs needed. (So far anyway)

Why do you not like immutable distros?

See the problem is that you’re a normal computer user and not one of the 3% that actually like the experience that is the traditional Linux desktop.
Somehow that does not help me know what I’m missing.

My point is you’re not missing a damn thing.
Gatekeepy bullshit.
Bazzite is great, and immutable just means some things are done slightly differently, that’s all.
