    I’m a big fan of high availability software rollouts. It would be interesting to see this do a live update where you spin up the new compositor, run some test on it, if it passes hand off, if that succeds kill the old one. Minimal disruption for the end user.

    Kind of neat for desktop users, but for kiosks or other always running GUIs its super cool to me

      Valve should get on this for gamescope, imagine Steam Deck doing a system update without closing your game.

        The Steam Deck is immutable aka image based and I am not sure if Steam isn’t part of that image too or what effects that would have but it definitely would be a cool feature!

        For SteamOS this would manifest as seamless transitions between gamescope and desktop mode, which atm needs you to log out of one session to log into the other.
