Someone with root can run ostree admin unlock --hotfix to make /usr writable. Someone with root can also delete all restore points.
It would be strange for them to call it that if it actually means “completely irrelevant from a security perspective”.
See the comment by superkret.
Aren't most CPU's and chipsets proprietary? Not to mention all of the firmware blobs they require? What are some affordable, non-proprietary options?
Oh good, it's not just me with weird freezing problems. I often see individual windows hang for a good while as well, and then KWin just restarts in place.
Arch, Fedora, and Debian. Think I'm going to start phasing out Fedora though.
Can you explain what "breaks" you are experiencing?
I'm running Fedora/KDE/Wayland on two machines here, and the only oddity I get regularly is on my system with one monitor in landscape and one in portrait. Sometimes half of the landscape screen seems to be funky until I turn the portrait monitor off and on again (almost like it is trying to put the two displays on one for some reason). Most everything else has been flawless.
The different repos and bad reputation was my point 😉
If you didn't want to try Arch due to instability, Manjaro is a funny choice. I was mostly kidding, anyhow.
Yes.
Ah yes, I see. Thanks for the link!
I understand why it had to happen, but I miss seeing the old name everywhere ☹️
🤣
I definitely forgot to add a password file when I upgraded through ansible and locked myself out of the DB. Also locked myself out with the private instance + federation setting combo. Still enjoying it, though!
The stack overflow survey showed 33% of devs are using MacOS. You won't (or shouldn't) be roasted for recommending a mac.

Which is what led to the further discussion of root making that not so.
I don't believe that to be the intent of the OP's comment, given their second sentence, but they are welcome to state otherwise. I just don't want them thinking that an immutable distribution gives them some kind of bulletproof security that it doesn't.
