Debian and Arch are exceptions. I believe maintainers of every other mainstream distro are exploring immutable distros or at least shipping confined apps.

That is no longer the case with the new default Desktop subiquity installer in 23.04. Instead of a single squashfs, there are separate squashfs files so the minimal install is faster than default in 23.04.

Debian knows how to do secret voting. In fact, Debian's latest election of their Project Leader which also ended last night was secret. It looks like it would need a General Resolution to allow secret voting for future General Resoluti

Windows 10 will have it next week in the Creators Update. Android has it in 7 "Nougat" but most Android users don't have that version yet. It seems to me like GNOME was right on time.
