Interesting article. The headline is not clickbait. I’ve only been using Linux as a daily driver for about 18 months but I learned something from the issues he laid out.

Updating the system swaps out the old OS image for the new one; it’s both fast and safe. And you can keep around the old OS image (three of them, in fact) and easily roll back if you have a problem.

So an entire OS image is written to the SSD whenever something within it is updated?

I hope they employ de-duplication, or some other way to avoid wasting NAND cell life.

no, i’m not going immutable. stop.

i will do whatever the fuck i want to my system. and if it breaks, there’ll be arch news or some log to help me. or i can rollback/chroot stuff that broke.

this distro seems to be for those people who have terminalphobia and not willing to learn from even 1 manpage.

Clickbait title which makes no sense.
