We're excited to share that MocaccinoOS is now listed on @distrowatch!

We're building an independent, immutable Linux distribution — no corporate backing, no upstream spin-off.
From the toolchain to the infrastructure, it’s all built and maintained by us.

Check it out and help spread the word!

Been a year since I made #silverblue (specifically #bazzite) my daily driver. At this point, I'm Im sold on #immutable OSs as the future and the direction we need to move to on #Linux

For some reason Meshuggah remastered their latest album, which is, ironically, titled "Immutable". I guess that's easier than putting out an actual new album. They added some live songs at the end, because every studio album experience needs to be destroyed by having less-good versions of the same songs tacked onto the end.

I like a good live album, *sometimes*, but live tracks tacked onto studio albums is always a bad listening experience.

I am thinking about #immutable data backups. No software solutions that malware or ransomware can get around. Something old school with a physical lock on it, think the tab on a casset, or switch on a 2.5' floppy.

Is the only equivelent in the modern day the large format SD (SDXC) card? What other options exist out there for home use?

working on a new custom Arch Linux immutable desktop, built for 2018-2019 intel Macs. Using Arkdep from Arkane Linux for the immutability has been a breeze so far. The constraint of /var and /etc not persisting across reboots (with exceptions, via migration scripts and btrfs subvolumes) makes you get creative. #linux #immutable

Wuuuuuut? #Linux #game #patch? FOR #BAZZITE?!!? THE FUTURE IS #IMMUTABLE.

This is a pretty cool turn of events, because a game studio under a major publisher supporting Linux shows how far we've come.

Bazzite is of course based on #Fedora #Silverblue, which was my daily driver for some years. Neat!

I think the only reason people (such as myself) get so invested in, and then disillusioned by the reality of immutable operating systems is that what we don't actually care about "not editing system files unless directly applied", is that we just want system files to be backed up and revertable.

We just want a nice and clean seperately partitioned system that keeps backups (automated storage of only diff change, to reduce physical memory size), and so when we decide to adhoc tinker quickly across a dozen modules, sections, files, we can, and we can quick save at any time and start back at the last save, without modifying the user files.

Chat, I'm gonna install immutable Linux on my laptop today, which is recommended?

Wrote a quick article about how #bootc is important and some examples of how powerful it can be. Happy to answer any additional questions!

Its been a long time since I've tried any of the openSUSE variations. This particular one - Aeon - uses an immutable core OS layer in combination with user-installed applications courtesy of flatpak + distrobox.
