Call me crazy, but I don't want a PC run by a phone operating system.
They're not saying it will. My gaming laptop is already running the same Linux kernel as Android phones so the kernel is great. Then it's down to the GUI and that might be a good fit for hospitality/healthcare/retail as the article says where some devices are already run in more or less of a Kiosk style with specific purpose. Besides phones are just small PCs anyway, it's all about the use-case.
That's a really really really bad comparison.
Separating the base system and user installed apps is a good thing for security.
Having flatpak smooth over distro compatibility issues is great.
Locking down a platform to an app store is not.
There are also ways to change the base system still. It's just the model is to do the ideal thing, which is to install the apps designed into the modern system.
Options are never gonna be a bad thing of course.
Idk of flatpaks can really be compared to iOS apps just simply due to how much you can choose to expose
Well, Immutable Distros aren’t for “Linux Users”, but for casuals. I won’t ever advice any techblin to use a classic distro, because they don’t have any interest in learning commands and terminal, but just want to use something that’s not Windows
I prefer gentoo personally
