@zak So. I’m at the Red Hat Summit this week and there is discussion about something you might be interested in.
bootc (the main tool for RHEL Image Mode) allows you to basically create your own immutable OS image. It’s sort of like… rolling your own distro but using tools similar to creating docker container images rather than compiling from scratch.
The intent is of course virtualization - but you can deploy them on bare metal.

It may be a heavier lift than you want to mess with - but it’s pretty interesting nonetheless.

Fascinating idea, though I can’t help but think it would just become some sort of attack vector of its own.
Also given the push towards immutable distros (which is a good and cool idea) I’d be very curious how this could actually be implemented.
