This kinda response is so funny to me. I’ve seen similar attacks on Rust, and all I can assume is either you’re in the 0.01% of users who are ideal use cases and have never had an issue caused by something that could have been prevented by immutability, or you just have that crab bucket, “well I put up with the frustration, so everyone else should have to too!” mentality
I’m not even here to claim that immutability is ideal for everyone, but “haha you like to not waste your time unfucking your OS” is not the epic burn you think it is
After seeing folks on lemmy who wiped their /boot and did other funny stuff I must ask you: do you think your argument is all that righteous?
The idea of immutable distributions does not trigger me: there are valid use cases for that too. But the whole parroting of brainrot “I’ve got my system fucked, so immutable distros go brrrrr” sounds more and more like a band of childlike people looking for anyone to blame but themselves
I don’t care if something could or could not have been prevented with immutability with my system, but I always care of the following: this next thing I am going to do with the system, am I prepared to deal with it if something goes sideways or not. Now that looks like a burn to you or what?
So, baby-proofing Linux?
We prefer “security hardening” but yes that… Also works lol
I’d describe it as making computer systems reliable.
