Principal Skinner on Immutable Distros
(infosec.pub)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
My main OS (debian) ssd started throwing Io errors this Friday night and I had to work Saturday, only image I had laying around was Fedora Kinoite. So that's what I'm running until I order a new drive. I'm getting my wife a new laptop soon and was considered silverblue (she's a Mac user but very quick with tech in general).
Anyway after using it a few days, I think when I get my new drive I might just go ahead and put Kinoite on it. I'm used to running my dev stuff in containers anyway and toolbox makes it super easy. Rpm-ostree is a breeze (though it takes a minute to build on this ancient USB hdd, I'm replacing my dieing SSD with an nvme so I don't foresee the ostree builds as being an issue).
I think immutable is absolutely the way forward, especially for less computer literate folks. It will keep them more protected and if they do mess up something the rollback is a breeze.
Why Kinoite over Aurora or Bluefin?
