I find it interesting to learn about the different tooling involved with the different immutable distros. Fedora and others use ostree
, this one uses arkdep
, Nitrux uses overlayroot
, Nix uses nix-build
, and there’s probably others.

“Immutable” is the new “orange.”

It promises certain things that traditional distros can’t, namely reproducibility and scalability. Many are based on OCI images, which are built and then pushed to everyone. It’s definitely the hot new thing, but at least it’s not without warrant.

Any good papers to read more about the actual mechanisms used behind immutability?
