Fitting Everything Together
- mongol 5y agoInteresting ideas but I wonder if there will be any distribution apart from Red Hat that would really go all the way to implement these ideas. While it seems to solve many security problems, supporting something along these lines seems very aligned with support contracts.
- JetSpiegel 5y agoIt does seem like something geared for the Red Hat model of installing millions of identikit machines.
- pabs3 5y agoChromeOS and macOS already use this sort of model.
- mongol 5y agoI don't doubt that. But which Linux distributions would support it? Red Hat I am sure. Perhaps OpenSuse. But any others?
- usr1106 5y agoDoes that matter? If the idea flies and someone does the work (maybe the opposite order) a new one could emerge.
- SAI_Peregrinus 5y agoI can see NixOS doing similar things. It's all about declarative configuration. Also very useful for embedded Linux distros, an A/B setup can help protect against update corruption due to power loss. If one of the two fails to boot, it can try the other, and retry the update.

- pantalaimon 5y agoHow is this related?
- usr1106 5y agoAnother proposal how distros (or at least a great distro in someone's opinion) should develop???
- greatgib 5y agoThe OS he is describing is an Android phone,and in my opinion this is a nightmare. Like for exemple having to rebuild everything just to tweak (or fix) something. This is the path to throwable not easily hackable computers...
- usr1106 5y agoHe says he wants it hackable and secure. I don't think he favors lock-in or throw it away when doesn't work. The dilemma there seems how do you keep it quickly hackable for yourself but difficult to crack for the bad guys. What are your counterproposals if this is a nightmare?
