There is a file system you can use. A alternative to ext4. I think its Btrfs. I never tried it. But it let’s you take snapshots that you can restore to. That’s not just system files but everything. And pretty sure you can use it with a disto like arch and Debian. I think that’s how snapshots work. But as I said I never actually tried it out.

If I’m understanding the question right. This is what Immutable Linux distros do. Such as Nixos, fedora silver blue, and vanilla os.

I use nixos myself. But its quite different then most distros. The way you config it and install packages. For the better in my opinion.

Something like silverblue works pretty much the same as normal Fedora except you can’t install packages like you normally would. Because the system files can’t be edited. You mostly use flatpak for everything. Except the system updates. Which you have to reboot to switch to the new updated image. But past images are saved so you can rollback if needed.

From what I understand Chromebook os is a Immutable Linux distro same as the ones I mentioned. Just with Google with built in.

This headline would have had me over the moon and ready to move to the UK if it was still pre 2020 labor party.

Can someone explain why so many comments saying this is bad and want their instances to block threads? Seems like it would be a good thing to make the fediverse bigger and more accessible.

Fusion would be better, but the fission tech we have is already enough to fix the energy problem.

I don’t know for sure, but I bet it takes a lot more mining to make enough solar panels + battery’s than powering enough fission plants. Plus solar panels wear out and have to be redone every 20-30 years from what I understand. Not counting maintenance and ones that get broke from natural disasters.

As I said though. I want both. solar/wind/etc definitely have a place. Just don’t think its good enough. Maybe if we have a massive break through on battery tech they will be.

Well if you read the comment I was replying too.

There aren’t enough rare earth minerals on the earth to create the necessary equipment for solar, wind, etc to meet our current energy needs.

Even if he is wrong. Mining so many is very harmful. Much better off building nuclear plants. Along with some solar/wind/hydro of course.

The problem with taking long to build and expensive is easily solve if the governments build them. Currently in the US it doesn’t happen cause it’s left to private companies, and they take a long time to become profitable.

We do need to cut down on overproduction, but nuclear energy is the real solution. We need to be building a bunch of state of the ark nuclear fission plants. They are super safe now, and barely put off waste anymore. They just take so long to build and are so expensive. Plus because of miss information hard to find a place people will let you build one.

The immigration isn’t the problem. The problem is this awful solution from the current government.
