Immutable distro on a PC. Thoughts and experience? (lemmy.ca)

I'm about to go ahead and go 100% Linux on my PC and completely get rid of Windows. The latest advancements in Windows application compatibility for Linux has taken strides and it's now easier than ever to run Windows apps thanks to Wine and Bottles and Steam's Proton. There's literally nothing I can't do in Linux that I could do in Windows.

The distro of choice I will probably go for is going to be Kubuntu. But I've been looking at immutable distros as a more stable alternative. But, it sounds to me like it's more adapted for smaller devices and IoT, like the Steam Deck or similar handheld devices.

Have you installed an immutable distro on your PC? What distro did you use? What was your experience like? What were the pros and cons according to you?

Just a note to OP since they mentioned Kubuntu: Aeon is the Gnome version of OpenSUSE MicroOS Desktop. The KDE version is called Kalpa. (Kalpa is however still in beta)
