For once I feel a little out of touch after I took a bit of a break from following the news to focus on studying, and suddenly everyone is talking about immutable distributions. What are they exactly? What are the benefits and the disadvantages of immutable systems?
Yeah I’m with you, I want more reliability but immutable is a bit of a long way to go to get it.
I get why people are willing to make the tradeoff though, docker taught us os configuration should be done programmatically, my workflow is just used to constantly fidgeting things till they feel right, to each their own.
I worked at the big cloud guys, I get the point.
But this isn’t a cloud host, this is a workstation that I’m happily tinkering with, I enjoy bending and breaking the os for fun and development.
My data is usually not on the workstation, so clearly it out is no real loss, and I get to experiment more.
