For once I feel a little out of touch after I took a bit of a break from following the news to focus on studying, and suddenly everyone is talking about immutable distributions. What are they exactly? What are the benefits and the disadvantages of immutable systems?

    People literally made a distro spin that’s dedicated to rolling back nvidia drivers.

    Classic nvidia moment right there.

    But Universal Blue does look very interesting, I need to try and use it with distrobox and see if I can hit any walls that aren’t there with a classic setup.

      Nvidia is just a specific pain point, it’s nice to be able to roll back to a specific version of any given deployment.

      It’s just more obvious for out-of-tree drivers since that’s usually a worse user experience.
