Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS?
superkret@feddit.org 2 weeks agoThe immutability isn’t designed to protect against a malicious attacker with root access.
Any system is fucked if that happens.
It’s designed to reduce the workload of the maintainers, because they effectively only need to test and build for one standard image.

Makes sense. An “immutable” distro provides no additional security benefit, however CoreOS does have a reduced attack surface area compared to other distros, which itself is a benefit.
