I tried to use Fossil for personal projects but it didn’t work for me.
Idea is very appealing but in the end I found way too many distractions, especially in solo dev environment. I also agree that in group Git is standard so introducing something like Fossil might add needles friction.
But I still recommend checking it out. Some concepts are neat and might align with use cases that I don’t have.
Right now I’m experimenting with jj/jujutsu [1] and so far it works locally but I still hadn’t used the Git integration.
I’ve been using jj for at least 12 months now. Generally, I’ve enjoyed it, but it can be a wee bit dangerous with its very easy historic amendments and its easy force pushes.

That's fair. Since 0.10.0 (~a month ago), there's support for immutable commits. See https://martinvonz.github.io/jj/v0.11.0/config/#set-of-immut....
