openSUSE Leap gains an immutable mode

Original: Wenn ein Update schiefgeht: # openSUSE :opensuse: Leap bekommt einen # Immutable -Modus | iX Magazin https://www. heise.

openSUSE Leap, the community Linux distribution, is getting an immutable mode aimed at limiting the damage of failed updates, as reported by German tech magazine iX. Immutable systems keep the core operating system read-only, so a botched update can be rolled back instead of breaking the installation. Linux users are sharing the news in open-source circles, with many seeing it as a sign that immutable desktop setups are moving further into the mainstream.

Why now: Failed or risky updates are a common pain point, and immutable system designs are a trending topic in the Linux community.
