Opinions on immutable distros

Footnote2669@lemmy.zip to Linux@lemmy.ml – 94 points –

Hey! I’m currently on Fedora Workstation and I’m getting bored. Nothing in particular. I’ve heard about immutable distros and I’m thinking about Fedora Kinoite. The idea is interesting but idk if it’s worth it. CPU and GPU are AMD. Mostly used for gaming.

this was a whole bunch of rambling and complaining without amounting to much. what's actually got you upset about increasing the security model?

  1. immutable distros don't provide "increased security" at least not when compared to properly done thing; 2) will lead to a path of even more corporate powered repositories, closed sources and payed ecosystems.
  1. it does tho as that is the entire point
  2. it won't, as that logic doesn't make any sense.

** you should remember that desktop Linux as is, is horribly insecure and any security increase is putting you leagues ahead of most others. immutability is ensuring a minimum level of stability and security.

You are complaining about rambling and didn't deliver a single argument how immutable distros increase security. Also I think you are wrong big time with 1.
