The A/B system upgrade idea is intriguing. And kinda painfully obvious, in hindsight. Why don't the distros that have merged /usr do that already?

- pabs3 5y agoI think they do, Fedora's workstation product is meant as an appliance and I think it uses ostree to do something like the A/B upgrade thing. Some folks also do something similar using LVM, BTRFS or ZFS snapshots on various distros. Many users prefer the flexibility of package managers to appliance installs though, so having both types of installs is still a good idea.
