I'm a little bit confused about this. I was under the impression that images were dead.[0] What is the advantage of building images and having to deploy them locally either via usb or pxe? I'm assuming this is for user's machines, but wouldn't it make more sense to use a config management tool? [0](https://isimagingdead.com/ https://isimagingdead.com/)

That link was awesome :D I'd have to agree. Immutable is great for headless server scenarios but I'd imagine it would be a huge headache as a daily driver for end-user desktop scenarios.

  Immutable systems like this are great in a lot of educational setups where a lot of different students work at potentially many different workstations while always needing access to the same tools and in general having a "unified" experience.

As the dead comment states, that link is only for MacOS, whereas goldboot appears to be for windows, linux, and macOS.
