From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a distro with:

Immutable root
Active work (examples) toward reproducible packages
A smaller learning curve than NixOS?

@bahmanm @usb_see Is openSUSE MicroOS out of beta and ready for productive use? Haven’t read any news about it lately (I am on openSUSE Leap, so interested)

I'm not using it myself as am on Tumbelweed but I do know it's quite similar to the idea OP is talking about. Oh and I couldn't find any references to it being beta on the website 🤷‍♂️
