Fedora 39 introduces Fedora Onyx, an immutable alternative to Silverblue, based on the Budgie desktop environment.
Budgie is a desktop environment for free and open source operating systems, offering a barebones desktop experience with a touch of flair.
Fedora Onyx separates itself from the Fedora Budgie spin by using rpm-ostree for updates and offering apps in the Flatpak package format.
