Have you used SteamOS? I don't know the particulars but I'm pretty sure they do indeed make all the important bits read-only. You can temporarily use pacman as root, but it isn't supported so any changes made are overwritten when an upgrade happens or a system crash causes a the partition to be verified.
Again, very much out of my depth here so sorry if i'm misusing terms etc.
- m463 2y agoI tried playing with it long ago (like 1.0 era) but it was too specific. From what I can tell, it seems that 3.x os updates are distributed as an entire os image? It is based on arch, but you don't update individual packages with pacman. Basically everyone gets the same unchanging os, with individual games and data separately.
