Laypeople couldn't fix it even more.

They can't fix Windows either, so that's not an argument.

Least if it's a Linux system, they don't need to buy any software to sort it out. It's free and out in the open.

Yeah? Immutable distro, clownstrike kernel panic, what tool do you use now? Remember, you 'need' clownstrike.

I don't need some closed blob, with auto updates, in my OS. I doubt many Linux people would be happy with that.

To deal with a bad update, I'd boot a Btrfs snapshot from before the bad update. 'grub-btrfs' is great. I confess, it works great for my laptop, but I've not yet got it on one of my server. When I finally rebuild my home server, I will though. Work servers, I hope won't always be my problem!
