What's the point of aeon when we have tw with snapper?

Can’t make mistakes with tw since you have snapper. therefore the point of a immutable seems a bit odd.

Some basic research shows, that the security is highly increased. You may want to have a read about immutable distros are and what the advantages are.

I suppose. But even then Linux is not exactly prone to viruses in the first place mostly because of the repos rather than shady exes in a back alley.

Read up on the Aeon wiki. Repos come last in the order of prefered software sources…

Really?? Were you here using TW in 2024??

I was, along with many other folks … dealing with the malicious “xz utils backdoor”

lol, anyway, MicroOS/Aeon/Kalpa are a focused distributions that are at least in part configured to prevent system level mistakes in the first place.

They have a very different target audience. The immutable distros are aimed at people that need a system that just does it’s thing and are doing all their workflows using containers/flatpak/distrobox.

Tumbleweed is a general purpose distro for the user to tinker with.
