Although you probably could with rpm ostree which is not recommended. Or as recommended you could use brew. For me, I like it this way. I use appimages and webapps via Brave Browser. The app store used is Bazaar which seems polished by Aurora. On more Ultramarine for me lol. I found my minimal bloatware free Fedora distro. The initial installation process takes about 30 minutes due to the fact it's a different install, an image. But be patient and the future of Linux will be available for you too! I haven't used distrobox yet, even tho Aurora provides a graphical interface for it via Boxbuddy. With flatpaks, appimages and my webapps, I don't feel the need to use distrobox. Other than that, my distrohopping is over thanks to Aurora! Was this review helpful?

My experience has been a solid 10/10. The core appeal is simple: my system just works, day in and day out. I haven't had a single instance of a bad update, dependency-hell, or a random crash that plagued my time on other distributions. The peace of mind this provides is incredible. However, I wouldn't recommend it to a complete beginner. It's not a critique, but a crucial point of managing expectations. You absolutely need to get familiar with the 'atomic-distro' mindset to be successful. This means understanding that your base system is read-only and that you'll be using tools like Flatpaks or containers for the vast majority of your applications. This is where the learning curve comes in. Some things that are second nature on 'normal' distros will require a bit more time and a different approach here. You can't just install a random package you find online. But this 'limitation' is precisely what guarantees the stability. Once you adapt your workflow, the trade-off is absolutely worth it. The stability is unparalleled, and I can finally focus on my work without ever worrying about my tools breaking underneath me Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 9 reader reviews of Aurora...
