I tried Aeon, mainly because it's atomic/immutable like my currently preferred distro, Fedora Silverblue. Aeon makes revisions to the core OS file system by synthesizing a btrfs snapshot and then switching over to it. If you must install a large number of system-level RPMs on an immutable base, Aeon manages the load much more gracefully than rpm-ostree, which is a definite advantage over Silverblue. While running, Aeon was difficult to distinguish from Silverblue. I found that the installation of Aeon rigorously enforced FDE and TPM 2.0, which is the only thing that put me off.
Aeon 20260302 brings this distro "for lazy developers" one step further, although there's no major change compared to last month's update. However, this project from Germany deserves some attention, and this update is the perfect opportunity to push it into the spotlight.
