I've noticed a growing trend with immutable distros like Blend OS and Vanilla OS. The concept of having a system that's resistant to accidental breakage, along with the added security benefits of running everything in a containerized environment, is really appealing. However, what many of these distros seem to lack is the user-friendliness that Zorin excels at. I believe Zorin has a great opportunity here to differentiate itself as an immutable OS that's both accessible for everyday users and dependable enough to stand the test of time. I'm hoping the developers see this post and consider putting this idea into action.
Well, the Thing is: this immutable Condition that makes it stable makes that You can't easily change anything. Yes, that can be good but in Case You have to change something it can be not good.
Where I would see a good Place for immutable Distro's is in Offices or open plan Offices. There are sitting the People and work with there Programs. They don't need to change something in the Core System. There would be the Security Aspect a Plus Point, too.
Yes, immutable is a very specific use case. Libraries that have open access to computers would be a good example.

Yep. Bazzite is immutable and does everything I want it to, thanks to more emphasis on game support and Fedora's faster adoption of versions.
...except my VPN. Whether or not I need a VPN that badly aside, it illustrates the problem with immutables for variable use cases: all it takes is one thing you can't do without that the distro lacks, and if you can't use a flatpak or appimage for it, it's game over.
