6:45 PM EDT 		Immutability and Atomicity huh? I had to look those ones up a little bit. :-) I read the article but it only just barely covers the details of what they mean in regards to the distro itself. I went to the VanillaOS website and looked some things up and it seems pretty cool.

The idea of having two root partitions (one to roll back on) in case something goes wrong with your first one I like and I find re-assuring. It verifies itself at start-up so that if something has gone wrong, it suggests that you roll back to a version of your OS that you have that is good. The disks are encrypted by default which makes your system even more safe and they say you can install .deb packages and flatpacks along with other stuff.

It takes up more HD space because of the two root partitions and such. They suggest 50gigs of HD space and 8gigs of RAM if you're installing it to a USB have at least 8 gigs of space on it. I'm going to download it and install it on my USB and see what it's like..

I haven't seen any other distros talk about Immutability and Atomicity before like this before, it's interesting.
