I tried a lot to get this in reality - using fedora silverblue. But that thing sucks. It is slow. Really dogslow. Devs are blaming rpm-ostree or btrfs - no idea. I wish there was something like ChromeOS but open.
Hint: Maybe firefox should pivot (re-do Firefox OS) to that.
What's really slow? Using the system, or installing updates? I use Kalpa, an atomic OpenSUSE desktop version, and it just installs updates every night and notifies me to restart, so I generally neither know nor care about how quickly that runs. (Although, I've also run updates manually and it seems fine.)
It's pretty much rpm-ostree. Nobody bothered to make those workflows performant, so if you need to apply updates separately, it's going to suck. The OSTree download can be fast if you have a fast connection to the Fedora server, but it's not mirrored and there's no mirror network support (so no geographically close downloads). To be fair, bootc has this problem too because container tooling in general can't support mirror networks currently.
when you talk about slow, what exactly is slow in your case? download speed or performance?
