Well back when I didn’t know any better and would go through linux installations because I would break things but also because many of the “recommended linux distros” had problems (f*** you Canonical forcing buggy snaps onto us) I might’ve thought it was an awesome idea. But now that I know better (both how to not break stuff + fix things if they’re broken, and know when people are recommending glitchy trash) it just feels more restrictive. Kind of like a game console, android phone, or S mode. It’s not necessarily as restrictive as those things because you can turn it off and do what you want but the updates to the OS will almost never respect the changes you make, as I know from SteamOS.
Because I want to Install portmaster or create services to launch my own scripts on Boot without them being purged blindly by an update (just like How on Game consoles System updates will remove installed homebrew) I’m not into the idea of using immutable systems that lock you out of changes you might want to do that aren’t official.
