    Did you even read the article? You definitely should!
    I did, and especially the “flexibility”-argument should change your mind.
    Just look at NixOS for example. It’s just as configurable as Arch (from what I’ve read), but immutable. And it’s also not more complicated, just different.

    Immutable OSs only restrict you as much as you want them to be.


    Also, the underlying technologies (like OSTree, nix-config, A/B-Root, and so on) aren’t proprietary.
    Just look at uBlue, they’ve utilized OSTree to share system configs.


    While some things really just aren’t possible anymore or require workarounds, it opened the door for many, way more interesting routes.


    Also, you don’t need to be angry.
    Nobody will take anything away from you. Mutable distros will still persist for many many years, maybe forever?

    We should be exited what the future brings!
