Which Fedora atomic spin have you installed on hardware before? Select all that apply.
@fedora I've used mainly Silverblue and some Kinoite. Very briefly Sericea (I prefer to overlay Sway on Silverblue).
Customizing SDDM on the immutable variants is annoying. Even basic stuff, like having monitors ordered correctly, having a normal sized cursor, and a different wallpaper. The button in KDE doesn't work since /usr isn't writable.
When I did install Sericea, seeing the default SDDM theme was enough to wipe it and install Silverblue with Sway layered.
@fedora should I also vote for versions I installed to get an other version? I had to install Silverblue to convert it to Kinoite before they got their official ISO released 
@RyuKurisu if you rebased to another spin, that counts. If you installed one spin to immediately rebase to another... also yes.
Alright @fedora, I'll vote for both but with the caveat that Silverblue was only to rebase to Kinoite 
@fedora first, I had to see what atomic spins are:
https://fedoraproject.org/spins/
And realised that I already have an atomic spin on my laptop (plasma) and it's great and I was looking for something similar for my fedora desktop so now I know what I'm looking for... 
@fedora I used to use Silverblue directly. I now use Bazzite Gnome
@yulian I've never heard of Bazzite Gnome; something I'll look up!
@RyuKurisu ya, it's a project associated with Universal Blue. Bazzite is the distro and it defaults to KDE to match SteamOS. But they offer Gnome and images for steam deck too.

@fedora it only allows one selection.
@fedora i3 spin
@fedora Kinoite, for the win!
@polilluminato @fedora Exactly, yes. You can also rebase and switch between them without reinstalling.
@polilluminato @vwbusguy Actually, Silverblue has more in common with Workstation than with Kinoite, and similar for Kinoite and KDE.
Also, while the experience is that it's just the DEs that switch, you are actually booting of a different image when you rebase.
@fedora tried out Silverblue, but found installing custom kernel modules to be significantly more painful than on other distributions, including Fedora itself.
@JmbFountain there are definitely new challenges for how to work with an atomic system vs a traditional one.
@fedora can't believe you didn't include CoreOS or IoT
@Nitrousoxide we were wondering about the desktop spins specifically.
@fedora I have been using
Kinoite for over a year so far, and I am very happy with it
