There’s a lot of comments in here about desktops, but IMO why even discuss Linux on the desktop… 99.9999% of Linux deployments are not Arch installs on old Thinkpads. Immutable distros *are* becoming a de-facto standard for server deployments, IoT devices, etc. They improve security, enable easy rollbacks, validation of a single non-moving target for systems/hardware developers…

There’s also been a ton of very advanced development in the space. You can now take bootable containers and use them to reimage machines and perform upgrades. Extend your operating system using a Dockerfile as you would your app images:
