I suspect it to work as soon as enough of them will be installed. I understand now (-: I guessed that was what you meant but I haven't made the switch to Kubic now, though I have had used Silverblue for quite some time.
Thanks for trying with the printer driver to verify this!
I have no such printer either, should be a success though indeed.
I dodge a bullet with Fedora anyway, but I would like to go immutable again.
(The ostree way has many drawbacks for example no disk utility can
really find out what is using up your disk space reliably)
(and some other corner case issue, that completely break the corner case)
Something I am curious of is if there is (for example you can install
Silveblue into a normal Fedora installation and than basically migrate
to it),
a way to turn your Tumbleweed installation into an immutable Kubic.

Interesting topic.

As said, I haven't tested it. I will try to... It should be easy enough to do it, by installing the packages and enabling the service on one or two others Linux boxes in my home network.
I don't have any Windows machine, though.
What I meant with "I guess it wouldn't work" is that it probably won't out of the box, right after install, because the necessary RPMs are not there.

But I'll let know more if/when I verify this.
AFAIK Fedora Silverblue has other disadvantages like some brother printer drivers that are distributed from their site not working due to the ostree overlaying, these scenarios should work on Kubic. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/trying-to-install-a-printer-driver-fo...
I have no such printer, but I decided to give it a quick try, at least to installing the RPMs.

That's as far as I can get, I'm afraid... but I guess we can call it a success? :-)
