But, really, how frequently a normal user borks their system?

I've been using Linux for since 2004 and I can't remember the last time (if any) that I irrecoverably borked the system.

I use arch, mint and Fedora. Repositories in those three are solid.

Yes, immutable systems have their uses. Mostly entreprise uses but for home? Only out of curiosity.

I feel the same way. Like yes, everyone has screwed around and found out but to the point that we need to be like "I will NOT touch anything in the filesystem other than home"? Seems a little bit overkill to me. Would like to hear from someone who uses one to see what their reasons are, because if its just "i dont like cleaning up installation files" i'm not on board.
