In reply to Bottom Line IS. HeliumOS may not need an army of developers. HeliumOS is mosly just a variant of the LTS enterprise server OS AlmaLinux, which is downstream of Fedora and is therefore even more reliable than Fedora. But HeliumOS adds immutability with atomic updates, which adds even greater reliability, and provides even longer LTS than AlmaLinux. Like Kinoite/Aurora, HeliumOS uses KDE Plasma as its desktop environment. Like Fedora Atomic variants (Kinoite, Silverblue, UBlue, etc.), packages installed in HeliumOS are Flatpaks or isolated by OS containers. HeliumOS could turn out to be more like Kinoite/Aurora on steroids.

As a current Kinoite user and former Silverblue/Bluefin/Aurora dabler, I really hope that this distro takes off quickly and flies high. It seems like the perfect combination for stability, performance, and simplicity. And it works extremely well, from everything that I’ve read. The developer clearly needs to deal quickly and very directly with the issue of what happens when someone tries to use rpm-ostree to install a package. If the developer knows that the rpm-ostree installation method doesn’t work or has significant limitations, then the CLI should handle the error far more gracefully. Also, this issue and how to find an alternative installation method for an equivalent package should be a strong focus of the initial documentation release.

Universal Blue or Aurora … both Immutable….. Way more USERS And Developers….. Way Way Better and thoroughly tested already. Both available at universal-Blue.org or “ublue.it.org”
