My first immutable distro was Illumos-based SmartOS. Everything the system needs is read from a read-only USB stick and run from RAM. I wish more distros worked that way. A recent submission on here gives me hope: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42428722 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42428722
I suppose TinyCore Linux in its default configuration also counts.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoThe whole illumos family has degrees of this; SmartOS is of course full immutable with a ro OS that can be replaced to update, but even ex. OpenIndiana applies core OS updates to a clone of the root filesystem and you can always roll back to a snapshot.
