  • Just wondering, but is there anything regarding packages or flatpaks (and variants of them) that would make immutable systems a requirement in order to use your applications, or would it still be possible to use a regular distro?

    I’m sure there wouldn’t really be any complaints regarding 90% of linux users using immutable systems, as long as applications weren’t “locked in” to using those exclusively.

    I mean, there’s a reason they don’t let you delete system32 anymore

    It’s like one of the earliest troubleshooting joke memes. It just so happens people actually did that, and not because they wanted to do that.

    But like on earlier versions of Windows you could absolutely delete any folder on the drive. I think there’s even a story about an uninstaller that accidentally deleted the entire root of the drive because it wasn’t written correctly.

    Forums aren’t gone. They just were never really big to begin with. Reddit eclipsed all of them to the point that most forums were irrelevant unless they were highly specific (not like, a gaming or show community) or couldn’t be on reddit (straight piracy with linking, other stuff we won’t talk about)

    They’re not even gone, just the communities that want them are fewer and far between.
