    Today's article will probably be quite interesting. 'Tis a review of the Fedora Kinoite 41 immutable distribution with the Plasma desktop environment, covering basic concepts of immutability - security and reliability, existing examples and projects, attempted failed installation on physical hardware, successful installation in a virtual machine, look and feel, customization, software management using Discover and command-line, Flatpak and OSTree packages, official and unofficial sources, bandwidth utilization, availability of third-party programs, stability, maturity, performance, responsiveness, other observations, and more. Take a look.

    thanks for your review. I tested it in a VM, too but then I run into problems when trying to change the shared folders permissions, I learnt the usual command usermod -aG does not work. I saw Atomic uses a different system for assigning users to groups but did not have time to fix it.
