Principal Skinner on Immutable Distros
(infosec.pub)
Am I out of touch?
No, it's the forward-thinking generation of software engineers that want elegant, reliable, declarative systems that are wrong.
Okay so now I have heard of those immutable OS kind of regularly, but what is it and why is it so much better?
Thank you!
As far as I can tell it separates the base os from user changes which could break things by forcing you to use containers by annoying you to death any time you're trying to permanently install a package.
It's fine but it seems better for servers than users.
