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.

No, as I said. Install, in the installed OS use the partition manager to resize itself. I think that should work best.
During the live usb installer phase the system is not installed on disk. You can resize the partition of a running system afaik. If not, yes you may need to use a live usb to do that.
But main question, why?
Because I would like three daily drivers, one for each main distro type so I can learn more and explore other types like arch and rhel based, since I'm not knowledgeable on those. But I also want them to be workstations too, for normal usage. Just variety... And of course for learning. I dont just want a live disk to tinker with and thats all. I want these distros to maintain everything I do inside them just like any physically installed distro. Maybe I'm not properly conveying my view idk
I dont see how this is important.
In the end its all GNU+Linux, the usage is the same. Just use Distrobox and learn how to use that, its so awesome.
You have a full CLI environment for each distro there, just no SELinux, apparmor or systemd.
I would recommend you to try Fedora. Mayve even the immutable spins. Thats the future and you can try a lot anyways like what I descriped.
Thanks again. Im not quite sure what these immutable distros are, I keep hearing about them. Gotta do some researching!
Immutable + atomic. Its similar to Android or IOS. It can be explained like that:
That you can normally install apps is thanks to Flatpak, so you dont need to reboot on every install. The idea is to have a very slim core system and "outsource" as much as possible to Flatpak. This means at the same time, official packages, less work for the distro maintainers, and containerization.
In the future even more packages will be removed as native packages and installed through Flatpak. Buts still a developing technology and important things like
native messaging
or USB access (hardware security keys) are still missing.Very very helpful. I tried to install Silverblue last night, but couldn't get it to work. after a successful install, when I go to restart, it just wouldn't restart, it would hang.
Hmm weird
Hey buddy! sent ya a dm a little while ago
