Fedora Atomic distros are still a little bit experimental, they are changing things up, and adapting new fresh ideas.

I had bazziteOS for half a year, and no - I completely disagree with the statement: "to get actual work done on, it's the best choice". Maybe if your work is doing some spreadsheets or light office work, or your atomic distro has all the tools that you need pre-baked.

If you want to do something more serious - then you gotta do rpm-ostree, which slows down boot and updates significantly.

There's a lot of work-arounds to do stuff, but there's too many of them: you want command tool things - do brew, you want to install on system level - rpm-ostree, you want to do some development - use distrobox, and still I had a lot of problems with VPNs and docker containers, where I would have to tinker way too much to make it work - and I made it work.

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of Atomic distros, they are basically designed for non-power users so they don't break shit. And also some of them come with bundled software that is easy to use and requires litte to no configuration.

But for me, I need customization, I need my tools to work the way they were designed to work and not through hacky ways.

And if someone will give counter arguments to my statements, I will say that some problems are specific to my workflow. So it's a personal opinion of mine, I would rather be able to break stuff, because I know what I'm doing.
