It is a fair criticism though. Immutable distros are pretty new in the landscape of desktop linux distros so googling issues for them won't give you a lot of answers. And a side-effect of what they are means a lot of the time the answer to "how to do X to the system" is "you don't". They're reliant on having a solid base system image because changing it isn't very user friendly. I say this as a Fedora Silverblue user, I personally think the tradeoff is worth it for me.
