For once I feel a little out of touch after I took a bit of a break from following the news to focus on studying, and suddenly everyone is talking about immutable distributions. What are they exactly? What are the benefits and the disadvantages of immutable systems?

    I like the idea of containerised apps, especially if you can have multiples of the same app.

    A few years ago, when I was pretty much fully on Windows, I used PortableApps to manage a few websites and their emails, and having a simple way to do the same thing is one of the few reasons I’m still stuck with Windows.

    On top of that, I like trying out new apps and programs, but uninstalling them doesn’t always get rid of the extras, like new dependencies.
