Questions about Silverblue (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Does Silverblue being immutable has an effect on security, or is it more about stability and reliability?
Is it possible to have Nvidia drivers with Secure Boot on Silverblue, and how?

Thanks a lot!

That clears up my concerns and questions about both Silverblue and uBlue. Though it sounded convenient for my use case, I avoided uBlue as I thought it was a random fork that might not be reliable in the long term. I will be testing it to see if it works for me or if I can adapt to it. Thanks a lot!

I use uBlue and have never had an issue.

The great thing is that you can just rebase back to stock Silverblue at any time if you want to go back.

As I said, you can't view the uBlue images as forks per se.
It's more the result of a building script saying "Use the original Silverblue image, add this package, remove this package, rebuild" every day.
So the uBlue images aren't much older (less then a few hours normally, less then a day on major releases) then the upstream original versions.
