    I am not sure I understand the hype over the immutable distros. I get that it may be important for large deployments (e.g. a company of 500 people starting with the exact same desktop and remain compatible) but don’t really get the benefit for the average GNU/Linux user, especially those of us that like tinkering with our PC. I can’t see myself installing one of those but perhaps I am missing the point.

      I think you got it exactly right, apart from the fact that an “average” desktop Linux user is like 30% [1] company/university computer. For those users it’s probably very useful.

      [1] a completely uneducated guess.
