This is the exact same kind of late stage denial, that Ubisoft people are going through. They didn’t make a Dragon Age game. They just made generic slop with a Dragon Age branding. All these Assassin’s Creed games after the series reboot have been experiencing the exact same treatment. With 0 doubt in my mind, if the next Mass Effect ever comes out, it’ll be like this too.
Stop supporting these people. Spend your money on something actually good, especially if it’s made by an indie dev
Correct. Atomic distros don’t apply the update, unless it is ready to be applied successfully all together, usually with an option to restore the previous state, without the need of something like btrfs snapshots.
With Nix(-OS) as an example - your bootloader entry is just a reference a giant list of what you need to get out of the Nix store, to achieve the config you want. Many of those can coexist in the same system as a result, including different versions of the same package
This setup won’t really teach you anything different in relation to containers though.
