Interesting question. I’ve used workststion for quite a while and it always worked. But now I’m thinking of testing silverblue and from what I read on fedora’s website it should not make any difference for the user.
The immutability only protects you from (accidently) messing in the depth of your system. Regular use is safe in both distros. Maybe you get fewer apps in flatpak than in rpm.
I was wondering wether there is a difference in ressource consumption (RAM, CPU).

Never used Silverblue, but it seems as you can just run AppImages without any problems. AppImages aren’t “installable” per se, as they kinda work like portable executables in Windows: you just download it from the Internet, make the file executable, and bam, you can run it from anywhere. There are, however, AppImage “installers” that put your AppImages on a dedicated folder and make an app shortcut for it in your desktop environment, such as https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher

Yes
Go for it! Can’t compare resource comparisons (as I did not do the test), but djware on youtube probably has them in f37silverblue video.
It takes some time getting use to the paradigm change, so dont give up automatically. The matrix channel is really nice for questions !
