I find that many Linux users have a misconception about immutable distributions without knowing what it actually is. There is a lot of misinformation and generalization in the Internet about immutable distributions being “locked down”, “inflexible”, etc., when we could argue the same with many traditional distributions. In this article, we’ll look at what makes an immutable distribution, the concept of an immutable distribution versus implementations, misconceptions about immutable distributions (both pro and con), and why they exist in the first place.
I also thought immutable is something not flexible. As they say it is different and you should try it yourself. Mostly everything traditional distros do, immutables can do do, but a bit different way. Once I tried I won’t going back. Silverblue is my new home for now.
