ZDNET's key takeaways

A very hard sell, all positive, shill work.

  1. Immutable Linux distributions are the future. sounds like ai promotion!
  2. There are several reasons why immutable is the way to go. only positive reasons!
  3. From security to predictability, you can't go wrong with immutable. of course not!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  1. Improved security: you might consider it on a server being DDoS all day or poorly set up by the maintainer.

Security is great on linux, You dont this on a desktop distro.

  1. Better reliability: you might consider it on a server being DDoS all day. or poorly set up by the maintainer.

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.

  1. Atomic updates : A/B partitioning system

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.

  1. Simplified maintenance: My god, what!

Suitable for experienced users and lazy bastards.

  1. Reproducibility:

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
