what is a regular desktop non-workstation??
Thanks for the link, so whats left is to have a proper rollback/snapshot feature. I know there are snapper integrations with btrfs for void. But they are not on par with e.g. Opensuse Tumbleweed.
The suggestions made here are already spot on and I can just support the suggestion to use the least amount of extra repos as possible. Packman is the only one I'd consider, also check your repos regularly and see if you can make sense which is what, otherwise get rid of the ones where you have no clue why you had them in the first place (obviously check first which packages they install).
Whom you talking about in terms of "don't trust someone" ? Also where is the connection between closed source and immutable distros?!
Sadly there is no way around it. The mentioned alternatives like regolith have already been mentioned. There is also some smaller distros with prepared twm configs, but I can't recommend it. Because if you want to customize it, you will have a hard time finding the right ways to do it.
You didn't mention a single argument for why you would need a reproducible system. It sounds more like the buzz around immutable systems makes you think you are losing out on something, which is not the truth.
Ubuntu and Debian differences...don't see your point here. Nobody in Arch uses apt? Nobody on ubuntu uses pacman. If you use pacman you are using Arch repositories.
Can you decouple a package manager from its repository like that? And even if, is that a real world example?
What? Is this sarcasm? CLI offers much more debug potential than GUIs.
If you way of replying is to use caps instead of linking maybe to a specific topic... not sure I really wanna know what this is about. Also in regards to #nixos there is another active topic on lemmy worth reading.
I am not sure if you are onto something or you don't understand the proposition. e.g. how does KDE or any other DE developer maintain their packages on debian? Do they not? And its up to debian developers to decide what version of KDE they use? If thats the case then I see your point, which would make it very hard for the so-called "kubuntu" package maintainer, because they have to rely on what debian maintainers do.

facepalm I truly mixed that in my brain. But Valve also has this Dota Chess Game, right? Not sure if you would count that as a success though, have totally lost track of it.
