Yeah as far as I understand most folks pursuing an immutable Linux OS basically just want /etc, /var, and /home to be the only writable parts of the filesystem.

Yeah as far as I understand most folks pursuing an immutable Linux OS basically just want /etc, /var, and /home to be the only writable parts of the filesystem. Updating or changing the rest of the system requires some repackaging and redeployment of the OS (like using ostree or some other similar tool).
- gumby 4y agoThe Mac OS seems to do this well (at least I’ve had no problems with it). A few people complain but I think it’s a good idea and it doesn’t get in my way (maybe others?). Would be handy for a lot of Linus installs. And there are always other Linux distorts (and a few other OSes) if you don’t like it, which is a good thing.
