This is unrelated but what’s the appeal toward immutable distros to you?
I don’t mean this in a hostile way I’m genuinely curious to know. I usually consider the ability to change anything about Linux as quite a big selling point so these distros seem kinda counterproductive to me.
Basically what IverCoder said, but also sometimes I like not having to tinker with my desktop at all. I’m running through an Arch Install on my Thinkpad right now just for the fun of it and I do love this kind of thing, but I’ll admit the concept of plugging in a USB stick, installing a distro in one click, downloading my apps through Flatpak and not having to mess with the CLI a whole bunch is very appealing. Yes you can do that with Ubuntu or whatever but (at least in my workflow) you still have to mess with the CLI a bit.
Basically, I like messing with Linux sometimes but other times I just want a, I suppose Windows-like experience while still having Linux under the hood.

Immutable distros are actually easier to customize and tinker with than traditional distros, while being safer. Example: Universal Blue
Interesting
