This sounds like Fedora Silverblue, which already exists.

There mind will be blown

I believe this is distinctly different. Fedora Silverblue allows you to install packages through rpm-ostree. The idea Adrian presents is that this overlay system is a band-aid for issues in an immutable operating system.

There are several other differences discussed, but it’s also worth mentioning that because solution A exists, doesn’t mean there can’t or shouldn’t be a solution B.

I’m not against having multiple options and don’t expect Gnome OS to be identical to Silverblue.

I was just pointing out that a distro with the listed goals of GNOME, Flatpak, Robust, Immutable, Secure, Modern, Flexible and Opinionated already exist in Silverblue.
