    I wouldn’t say it’s “better,” but merely different. Until immutable distros can easily solve installing certain software that requires system-level access (like VPN clients without a Linux package or repo), there will always be a place for mutable distros.

    And I say that as a proponent of distros like NixOS, Bazzite, and blendOS.

      You can do that with fedora Atomic tho, just enable it, also why install a VPN? Why you can’t use OpenVPN?

        I can, actually, but I’d rather use WireGuard for the improved throughput. There’s no “enabling” Private Internet Access’s client, though, because it’s a self-executing tarball and install script, and that’s the only way to access their WG endpoints.

        They have a manual connection client through the command line, but that hasn’t been updated in over two years, and I don’t feel comfortable using it.
