Make any Distro Immutable

and systemd-boot bootloader. With non-invasive I mean; it doesn’t mess with your normal OS and its configuration

Well, there’s the problem…

I much prefer it over grub. I don’t think there’s any other bootloader’s that support btrfs snapshots.

There’s this.

To get a truly immutable experience install use squashfs instead :D

actual_patience, 4 months ago

Could you pass me a link to an example setup?

It’s a joke; squashfs is read-only :D Stuff’s used on routers and similar stuff

Why no containers?

This community is full of people who simply “don’t like certain things”. They may say “it’s overkill” disregarding the fact that it solves their use case perfectly. Or it could be written in a language they don’t like. Or maybe they heard somebody else complain about it on a forum once and now think it’s bad.

Yeah, it’s also the same group of people who are always complaining about how much RAM a desktop environment or app uses, that app being whichever one they are using right now.

I think flatpaks are good. The performance penalty for containerized software can be felt much more when you’re not using a good CPU. So containers do not “solve” my use case.

I’m using a cpu from 2013 and gaming in containers seems to work as well as it does outside of containers.

Sounds great but needs more contributors to gain trust so that it can be used in production.
