I’ve read that containers are preferred for development, but they aren’t persistent and it doesn’t seem like files such as /etc/fstab can be accessed through them when running distrobox (I enjoy editing such files using vim).

It’s also a bit annoying having to enter a specific container to run something like btop.

Are you supposed to layer them with rpm-ostree?

    Isn’t the purpose of an immutable OS supposed to be for things like specific services that generally aren’t supposed to be logged into? For example a web-proxy, or log-forwarder or maybe some kind of LB front-end?

    I didn’t think “daily driving” an immutable OS as a user who needs to invoke a shell was its purpose.
