The worst part of immutable versions is when you go searching for help, you need to be careful about answers that might be presented to you.

For example, if I search for "how to install nVidia drivers in Fedora Kinonite 43, the first returns can often be for Fedora Plasma 43. Those terminal commands for Plasma won’t work for Kinonite. And even updating is different. Instead of sudo dnf update for regular Fedora desktops, you need to type rpm-ostree update for atomic versions.

Edge cases are well, on the edge and sometimes you just need to let them go. You can’t always be everything to everyone.

That’s the rub isn’t it. It’s good, but not quite good enough all the time, every time.

It’s called collaboration. When I worked as a toolmaker, I needed to use SolidWorks, despite not being a big fan, because our customers used SW and they were often literally on the other side of the planet.
