    I would love Slowroll or Leap, the tested packages of OpenSUSE using rpm-ostree. OpenSUSEs “immutable” model is worthless. It is not better than what Tumbleweed does with BTRFS snapshots

      It’s better in one way, in that updates are applied on reboot rather than pulling the rug put from under running applications. But I agree that it doesn’t go all the way, as it doesn’t provide a verifiable base system with clearly separated modifications. OSTree would be great.

      Another possibility would be to distribute a base image as a btrfs send stream (possibly differential against previous versions) containing a compose-fs image and associated files. And then OS extensions could be installed with systemd-sysext.
