How long do you think until Flatpak is replacing packages? I really don't like the current stultifying trend of the combination of Flatpak and immutability.
Why?
not op but here's my reasons: I want my apps to be able to talk to each other. So flatpak is just in the way. Also, I don't see the point of immutable distros. I could boot off of btrfs snapshots years ago. Immutability gives me absolutely nothing of value either
It hugely improves privacy and security
How so?
The benefit is easy roll backs and roll forwards. The system is the same from a security perspective.
no, it doesn't. Stuff doesn't have write access to / anyway. Immutability just means that I don't have write access either. Which makes no sene to me.
