>Vanilla OS as an immutable and atomic version of Ubuntu Linux
what does that mean? I checked their home page and FAQ as well, where they repeat it but also don't explain it. It makes me think of it installing itself on your hard drive, and then immediately marking it read-only, never to be changed again
- capableweb 4y agoGoing to https://vanillaos.org/ https://vanillaos.org/ and scrolling down, I encounter a section with the title "Immutable.." which seems to be what you're looking for? > ..but also not. > Vanilla OS is an immutable operating system, core parts of the system are locked down to prevent unwanted changes and corruption from third-party applications or a faulty update. Some paths are still writable, such as the home and configurations directories, this allows the user to keep their files and ensure the normal functioning of applications. > Core components are only updated via controlled and atomic transactions, which are applied only on success and made available on reboot. > Need to install a component in the core system? No problem, you can open a transactional shell at any time, make your changes and let the system apply them automatically!
