LuffyEvery immutable distro right now
Okay, I get what an immutable distro is. I get it’s advantages in security/safety. But can someone please explain why this matters? Like, how much safer is this really? I don’t understand the cost/benefit ratio of having an immutable core, especially since compromising the core will probably require fully compromising one or more privileged processes first, at which point it would be game over for a mutable distro as well.

IMO, I don’t think immutability makes sense for desktop use. The whole point of a desktop is to make it personalized.
You can do tons of personalization on immutable distros. It just doesn’t work the way you’re used to. I use Aurora and it’s an excellent tinkerer’s OS.
