    Same thing, both words describe the same thing.

    EDIT: I have learned not only from the dude below me, but also more reading online that indeed atomic and immutable are not exactly the same thing. Related but different. Tho my comment stands I still like the atomic nature of Bazzite, but I also LOVE the immutable part of it.

    TLDR: Immutable means the core OS is read-only while it’s running, and atomic means updates swap in a whole new system all at once, so you can always roll back.



  • As far as I know Bazzite just needs to be on its own drive. It doesn’t or didnt play nicely with any other OS on the same physical drive; I Know that is the case for windows. Bazzite should not be installed on the same drive as a windows install. I am making an assumption that holds or at least held true for other linux distros as well.

    I personally dont have any other distros installed so I cannot be sure on the above.

    I have been using Bazzite as my main os for nearly a year now. I tried to swap to linux a few times over the last ~15 years, and always had to go back to windows. I like the Immutable nature of it, while it does making installing some software a little harder the peace of mind I gain more than makes up for it for me. EDIT: I also like how it is Atomic and updates in one huge go, that can be rolled back if issues occur.
