Not even the same thing. They’re not stupid. They know people are going to use it. EMBRACING it would be more like adding AI nonsense tools wherever they can, and rely on automated systems that are based on LLMs to contribute code, which is not what’s happening here.
Debian isn’t “ambracing AI”? Where’d you get that?
Ubuntu has been making plays in that direction. Not the same thing.
Yes, but as I said, on a 4GB budget, this matters quite a bit. I run thousands of edge devices on a custom distro with similar constraints, and it adds up quickly. It’s not that it’s insurmountable or anything, but I’m answering the question asked and not getting into the particulars. It’s just a known fact.
Change management on a layered FS, containers everywhere…etc.
Depending on what you’re doing, it can make a big difference. Especially when you’re talking about a 4GB machine with little to no margin of extra working space. Updates will certainly be problematic.
Immutable uses more memory during many operations. You’re probably not going to find anything stable, with a desktop, and all the other bits you’d expect running at under 4G. Safely.
That being said, any other traditional distro is lower maintenance anyway. Not sure why you think immutable is special in that regard.
I did miss that, though shouldn’t matter if it’s working after reverting.
That’s not how software works. RC is beta software. It includes warnings that there MIGHT be issues running it. Sounds like you found some.
Just revert to the known good work version if you’re not able to debug yourself.
Not sure what “RC7” is, can you clarify?
If you weren’t previously having issues, then just revert back to whatever version wasn’t giving you problems.
Already done, bruh. 10 years of Republicans tearing down everything led to this. Not a shocker.

Then if you want to lock that specific version, go to
/etc/pacman.confand add the base package name to the ignore list so it doesn’t just go and get updated on the next upgrade run.
