How I Use sysext to Inject Tools Into a Read-Only Linux System

There's a systemd utility that lets you "inject" tools into a read-only OS at runtime, without rebooting the system. Here's my exploration.

It's FOSS

I found 2 external projects:
- Vanilla OS looks like a project targeted to end users, with Enterprise/Commercial support
- Nitrux, but I'm not completely sure is based on Debian because it seems to go its own way. Looks like it's more experimental and targeted to power users

This article is quite interesting and I'm interested about the idea of #immutable #Linux, at least for end users. I found nothing official on the #debian wiki.
On Debian, I don't remember having often experienced myself upgrade problems, with more than 25 years using it. Not on stable at least. (because ofc I run #testing :)

But really first is the understanding from all of the amazing #urban planning, #homelessness data science people, and all of the #fundraisers in the world that there is an #IMMUTABLE human right to a home. All calculations that do not begin there are fruitless. That IS manifest. Yes, that part.
What if mutability was part type's feature? And I don't mean that type can be mutable or immutable, I mean it can be both at different times.
And what mutability even means for series types? Does it mean that series is fixed in size and only its values can change, or does it mean it can also expand or shrink freely?
Well @recoil has a solution - each series type has an attribute, #immutable, #mutable and #flexible. Mutable series can change content but cannot change size,flexible series can both
