What’s the difference? No matter how hard I look, most of their websites just consist of them advertising that they are immutable.

    Some use an A/B system like Android. Others use more complex systems with image trees.

    Package managers differ and also ways you can customize the images before/after downloading.

    uBlue for example is heavily based on cloud technology and make building custom images with additional packages very easy.

    BlendOS downloads packages and builds an image locally, making it easier to customize.

    Others I haven’t looked at as close, but I’m sure there are plenty of differences

      That’s the problem

      Why do I need someone on Lemmy to tell me this when they have a whole 10 or so page website that could just as well detail this instead of the usual „Hey, your keyboard works on this distro”?

        I suppose most of the website is about the difference from traditional distros rather than the difference from other immutables. Still, maybe you have a point. Go and submit a pull request to some of those websites! Write a good website inclusion in a feedback form! Join a team and help them out!

        most websites are made for distributing ads, I don’t really browse much since most of it is generated by ai anyway

        the real useful information can be found on forums or websites like lemmy

          Ah yes the old “Join our Discord” rather than having anything beneficial being indexed
