Starting to write down my thoughts on decisions for what I will be building and running post #hashicorp. 😅

This one is on the os first. Specifically, what type of #ImmutableOS. :linux: Focusing on #talos #Ubuntucore and #nixos

@lispi314 #Guix is transactional, so failed upgrades don't factor; you can also choose to boot into any previous "generation" of your system.

From what I've gleaned from #UbuntuCore, you can also do that there.

But none of this helps with power outages.

Drei Fragen und Antworten: Was #Ubuntu mit dem immutable Desktop wirklich plant | iX Magazin https://www.heise.de/news/Drei-Fragen-und-Antworten-Was-Ubuntu-mit-dem-immutable-Desktop-wirklich-plant-9186262.html #Linux #OpenSource #Canonical #UbuntuCore

💡 What is an immutable Linux? And what value does it bring to the #Linux desktop experience?

The need for immutable Linux, a secure and unchangeable operating system, started in #IoT, #edge, and mobile computing. We understood the unique needs of these fields and began developing Ubuntu Core in 2014.

As an immutable OS, #UbuntuCore offers a secure, optimised and modular system that supports atomic updates and rollbacks, secure boot and hardware backed encryption.

The title is misleading, but this is a good rundown of immutable desktops as a concept and why they are good for certain use cases. Deb-based will remain the choice for tinkerers, but it could be great for people or businesses who just want their desktop(s) to work -- or want most things stable and contain the apps that use a bleeding-edge stack (e.g. the Steam snap).

Immutable, All-Snap Ubuntu Desktop Coming Next Year

An all-snap Ubuntu desktop is coming — and sooner than you might think! According to Canonical’s Oliver Grawert, the next long-term support release of Ubuntu will be available to download in two versions: a classic, deb-based version and, for the first time, as an immutable, snap-based build too. You can’t see me but I can assure you that I’m pulling my best faux-shocked face right now. Why the snark? Well, let’s face it: an all-snap Ubuntu desktop is inevitable. If I’m surprised by anything it’s not that it’s happening next April, but that it has taken this long to happen :sys_more_orange:

@pieq @omgubuntu I started developing the #CUPS #Snap already end-2017 and there they told me at #Canonical that they want to do an all-Snap distro (and they had it already for server and IoT by means of #UbuntuCore). During the time I have refined the CUPS Snap and worked with the #snapd team on needed features in snapd, especially the "cups" interface for Snaps of applications which print, so that they can print but not mess with the CUPS configuration.
