Security is great on linux, You dont this on a desktop distro.
reliability is great on linux, You dont this it on a desktop distro.
I have been using linux for 20 years and never borked anything.
This includes distro's: Kali, ParrotOS, Debian, linux mint, unbuntu, manjaro, arch, Archman, Blackarch, Endeavour, raspberry pi, sparky linux and the old ArcoLinux, on and on.
sounds more like androids a/b partitioning system. and look how delicate that is
apt, npm, AUR, pamac and pacman etc, have been working great for years,
never had a package break! at install.
Suitable for experienced users and lazy bastards.
With an immutable system, you are always guaranteed to have a bootable system. The updates for an immutable system have been well-tested by the developers, which means the updates are easily reproducible
All those shitty updates I installed over 20 years, none failed, and all the updates had been tested by the developers.
and more and more reasons not to go with immutability
too much hard sell
