    Settings live in user space. Software exist in containers like AppImage, Flatpak or Distrobox. If something need deep system integration, they can be layered on top of the system in the user layer. Immutable does NOT mean less control. Just exerting control over the system in a different, usually more systematic, automatic and deterministic way.

      Ah yes, the immutable OS, except for all of the various mutable parts.

      We should totally not call it anything less confusing.
