       Would you daily drive a Linux distro like Silverblue or Steam OS 3, with an immutable root file system and apps only available through Flatpak and Appimage?

       @gabmus Isn't a live cd technically an immutable root file system? I have actually daily driven one of those for a week or so.

       @OpenComputeDesign well, live cds aren't really immutable, they just lack persistence, meaning that every time you boot them up all the changes you made and work you haven't saved in some external storage are gone.It can be perceived as similar, but it's conceptually and functionally different. You can install apps and save documents seamlessly in an immutable root OS, but not in a live cd.
