Looking for a modern, usable Linux OS preferably immutable (lemm.ee)

I have been trying some of the immutable linux OSes because from what I understand they are more modern and feature better security and reliability. What I have found so far is shocking. Half of these don’t support my laptop (probably because it’s nvidia optimus). Some I tried like guix were very difficult to install, configure, and use with sprase documentation. Good luck trying to use KDE, wayland, or pipewire for example. BlendOS was notably better and could at least run on my laptop but chocked with nvidia driver issues.

I have switched to pop os on my laptop for now but looking at alternatives and what to install on my desktop.

I've been daily-driving Fedora Silverblue (if KDE is your taste, Kinoite) and have been very happy with it.

Yeah I used the sway version and it wouldn't work on my laptop properly. Literally wouldn't get a desktop unless I passed nomodeset and would still crash after a few minutes. Gonna try a ublue varient next.
