Looking for an immutable desktop distro (lemmy.zip)

I've been running stock Fedora for about 5 years, but I'm really interested in immutable distros after putting Bazzite on my TV Gaming PC. Batteries-included works well for me in a use case like that.

I have about a decade of experience with containerisation, so leveraging that experience for my desktop is really appealing.

I took a look at Bluefin for my laptop, but it seems to be more opinionated than I'd like. I'm good with having an optimised kernel and tooling that makes sense for an immutable distro, but wasn't a huge fan of preconfigured Gnome extensions and the software I don't want.

I haven't tried Silverblue yet, but I plan to do that next. Vanilla OS is on my list too, but more out of curiosity in how it does things.

My questions are: should I be looking at any other distros? Do I need to shift my expectations of an immutable distro even more?

Ublue (the group behind Bazzite and Bluefin) has instructions for creating a custom image. It's more than I'd want to take on, but maybe you'd be interested?

Oh I didn't know that, will have to take a look!
