Aren't "immutable" distributions really just glorified "live CD's"? Not really seeing the point of them, tbh. It means that users will have to build a custom system image or fiddle with FS overlays just to do system management tasks that are straightforward on all other systems. The single interesting promise of "seamless" A/B updates is a vacuous one, that you could address more effectively on traditional systems by saving a temporary FS snapshot; this would even deduplicate shared data among the two installs, which is very hard to do with these self-contained images.
