Fedora Silverblue is the most frustrating distro so far
So I took the plunge and installed Fedora Silverblue because of all that immutable buzz. And it's the most frustrating change I have made in almost 20 years of my distrohopping.
After installing Silverblue I configured it as usual. I installed necessary flatpaks, played with toolbox and distrobox, installed codecs, configured my bluetooth keyboard and other stuff in /etc and /var. Applied some useful tweaks I found on the web and... well... everything works. Nothing to do anymore. No issues. Nothing breaks, no dependency hell, everything runs smooth. I have nothing to tweak, tinker or configure anymore. So frustrating.
Every update is just... meh. Smooth, new, fresh system not affected by my stupid tweaking and breaking. Booooring.
I don't have to distrohop anymore. If I want other distros I can just install them in distrobox. Other versions of apps? Something from AUR perhaps...? No problem. What's the point of distrohopping now? Other DEs? I just rebase my system to other images with almost any DE or WM I want without losing data or messing everything up (damn you, UBlue!).
I don't even have to reinstall the damn thing cause every time I update the system or rebase it to another image it's like reinstalling it.
Silverblue killed distrohopping for me. Really frustrating.

Installed Aurora the other day (distro based on kinoite) and could not make my bank software run... It is a "local" (ie, only used by banks in my country) software only available for Ubuntu that requires a systemd service. Tried a lot and couldn't get it to work. The service started, but the browser accused it was not installed.
For what it's worth, I'm impressed your bank has Linux systemd support
In case you haven't tried that yet, maybe you could run it in a systemd enabled distrobox container.
Thanks for this. I use Distrobox a lot and did not know this.
Is your browser installed as a Flatpak?
Chromium yes. But firefox was shipped with the distro, so I am guessing it is not flatpak, but not sure.
nop, sadly, i unistalled it and installed from flatpak
I'm guessing the service wants to edit something it can't edit on Silverblue. So the software is simply incompatible with your OS (as stated in the documentation)
