Experiences using immutable Linux desktops?

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.

Knowing such basic tools are missing makes me quite averse to trying it :/
You can still install most packages, it's just more steps. Look up "silverblue rpm-ostree overlaying"
It feels a bit like a phone OS, which is kinda awesome and horrible at the same time. It has gnome disks (or whatever is called, the default gnome partitioner) as an ok alternative to gparted. I have it installed on an old laptop that i occasionally use for web browsing and other light tasks, and for that it's great. I wouldn't use it for anything serious, but it's great if you want just a basic, no maintenance OS.
Of course you can install gparted, you can run just about anything that you want, it's still Linux.
I know but it kinda feels wrong haha. I like to use it flatpak only.
