#51809 — opinions about Fedora Silverblue

I'm reading this page

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/

I miss many things likely.
For example I seem to understand that every package is 
deployed as FLATPACK ... Is that true ?

But what is exactly rpm-ostree ?

It says : <<Fedora Silverblue is an immutable desktop 
operating system. Aiming at good support for 
container-focused workflows, this variant of Fedora 
Workstation targets developer communities.>>

  container-focused workflows does not make any sense to me. 
What does this mean ? It's a different way of saying they 
use flatpack ?

I like to read something else than your link about Fedora 29 vs Fed29 
SilverBlue.

A couple of weeks ago DW DistroWatch pub'd a couple of feature articles, 
one by Joshua Holm on 'regular' Fed29 and one by Robert Rijkhoff on 
Fed29 SilverBlue

https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20181112#fedora
https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20181112#silverblue

That gives me a much better idea.  My general past experience with using 
Fedora live is that it is a little rough around the edges.

Dedoimedo Igor Ljubuncic has done a couple of review on Fed28's Gnome & 
KDE this year.  He wasn't so happy either, but he is frequently grumpy 
in his reviews.

I started at distrowatch actually, but I missed the articles 
you linked.
After reading the docs, I got to think that SilverBlue might 
be too unfamiliar to me (and I have the tendency to mess up 
things).
It sounded very nice but actually I read only Fedora sources :\

I torrented a Fed29 Cinnamon workstation live and booted it.  I believe 
I like the Cinnamon v. the best of the ones I've tried so far.

There's a nice bunch of Fed torrents here https://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
