You could give Fedora Sway Atomic a try, it’s basically Fedora immutable (same as Bazzite), but with Sway (tileable, keyboard centric window manager) desktop. It’s low on resources but I’d say it’s not for everyone.
Or you could build your own Fedora bootc version with whatever desktop environment you like. The syntax is that of Containerfiles and even if you’ve never build a container image before, it’s extremely easy to do.
Why do you think immutable distros use more memory?
I feel exactly like that. I started in tech some 10+ years ago simply because I liked computers and what you could do with them and since then I changed jobs, got promoted several times but i never truly lost the passion. That is, until a couple of years ago, after I was once again promoted in a very senior technical position. Something happened after that, the amount of bullshit I had to endure was just immense. Day in and day out, it was more and more about the perception of doing work, the politics, the positioning against strategic direction, the revenue. BUT, I was still happy every now and then when I managed to do what I loved and what I was good at. And then LLMs happened and it’s been downhill ever since. No joy, no purpose, nothing that I can cling to for my own sanity. Almost every day I dream about being a bartender or a mailman or simply not doing anything. Of course, I probably will never actually do it, the amount of money I earn now simply doesn’t exist in other jobs and I’m not sure one can live off of “gratitude of a job that’s actually useful” and I’m getting older and that’s that. No happy ending here.

The specs are very similar to what the Pixel 10 series offered, while the prices start at $899/€999 for the Pixel 11 and reach $1,899/€1,999 for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
Absurd pricing for phones these days (years?). I remember when a couple hundred euros was the upper limit for the very best phones available.
That would then be ‘generative’. It’s important to note the concept of “general AI” exists and it means a machine that can actually think and reason (for example, humans have “general intelligence”). The “AI” that exists today is called “generative” because it doesn’t actually think, it just generates information based off of extremely large quantities of data and gives the impression of thinking/understanding what it outputs, but it does not.
I think you mean “generative”. If so, you are entirely accurate in your description.
I think updates depend on the system itself, I can only speak about the one I know, bootc and it has no additional overhead in comparison to a regular rpm system. In fact, all that it does in the background is run dnf/rpm in a container and then simply dump that container in a separate partition. Nothing memory heavy happening there.
As for running containers, the memory overhead is negligible, at the order of a couple of megabytes per container at most.
The only strained resource on a immutsble system is arguably disk space, but usually that is mitigated by deduplication.
