From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You could absolutely rebase to Silverblue or Kinoite. Rebasing swaps out the core system files (basically, all the immutable stuff) and leaves
/etcand/varuntouched. So your home directory and other configs won't change.However, Universal Blue is not likely to shut down, since there's many maintainers, and they have directions on how to create your own downstream distro, if you want. On top of that, BlueBuild has their own set of tools to roll your own distro downstream from the base Fedora Atomics.
So no matter what, the likelihood that you'll be stranded is almost zero.
ETA: let me know if you want more details.
Thats prettt much all of what I needed to know, I see why they're reccomended.
Yeah, it works amazingly well, too. I've been rebasing between Bazzite and Kinoite a number of times in the last months (because Bazzite had some problems recognizing my drawing tablet which has been fixed now) without issue.
