Fitting Everything Together
- greatgib 4y agoThe OS he is describing is an Android phone,and in my opinion this is a nightmare. Like for exemple having to rebuild everything just to tweak (or fix) something. This is the path to throwable not easily hackable computers...
- usr1106 4y agoHe says he wants it hackable and secure. I don't think he favors lock-in or throw it away when doesn't work. The dilemma there seems how do you keep it quickly hackable for yourself but difficult to crack for the bad guys. What are your counterproposals if this is a nightmare?
- mongol 4y agoInteresting ideas but I wonder if there will be any distribution apart from Red Hat that would really go all the way to implement these ideas. While it seems to solve many security problems, supporting something along these lines seems very aligned with support contracts.
- JetSpiegel 4y agoIt does seem like something geared for the Red Hat model of installing millions of identikit machines.
- pabs3 4y agoChromeOS and macOS already use this sort of model.
- mongol 4y agoI don't doubt that. But which Linux distributions would support it? Red Hat I am sure. Perhaps OpenSuse. But any others?
- SAI_Peregrinus 4y agoI can see NixOS doing similar things. It's all about declarative configuration. Also very useful for embedded Linux distros, an A/B setup can help protect against update corruption due to power loss. If one of the two fails to boot, it can try the other, and retry the update.
- usr1106 4y agoDoes that matter? If the idea flies and someone does the work (maybe the opposite order) a new one could emerge.

- pantalaimon 4y agoHow is this related?
- usr1106 4y agoAnother proposal how distros (or at least a great distro in someone's opinion) should develop???
