Am I out of touch?

No, it's the forward-thinking generation of software engineers that want elegant, reliable, declarative systems that are wrong.

There's a new trend with immutable distros and they have some pros and cons. OP's stance apparently is that they're the future

Oh that's super helpful and incredible.

I'm not familiar with that side of Linux as I'm primarily a user. But that's how our devops pipelines work to ship apps/websites. We're shopping the entire working package with every update, and rolling back with issues. It's a fantastic system since as a developer, I can isolate problems.

I never thought about that on a OS level. And I support it!

I want to get into emacs, but it feels like it would lead to a sad country song

Immutable distros definitely feel like the future.
