I’ve never tried an immutable OS, but I’d love if the ability to do system backups and redeploy to another computer was just part of any OS.
Especially when Linux encourages you to distro hopp.
Clonezilla is great but it already happened to me that one backup wasn’t deployable on another (really old) computer
I’m looking forward to getting an old ARM computer and installing Linux without any worry one day🤞
I guess most people would not only want to easily reinstall all their apps, but also the settings related to them.
Sadly that’s the difficult part.
When I see how much time it takes me to have all my calendar and settings in Thunderbird.
Luckily for Thunderbird you can save your profile if everything takes less than 2gb, but it’s still a hassle to find a way to backup every program.
