In spite of "STOP USING..." - "HERE's why YOU NEED to SWITCH!": I do not yet feel to go immutable, but yes:

I'm also feeling like moving from Xubuntu to more Debian-closer distros. More personal contacts.

Yet, interesting to read of the concept of "immutable" distros: #bubble-#wrapped-#sandboxed... but for stable-no-change systems: not a bad idea!

And #atomicUpdates: sounds nice. Like #LTS-hopping!

How much is this "worth" (in money)?

(my) webservers (!) running without reboot for almost 10 years 🖖 🥳
/WITHOUT/ changing anything.
(only security patches)

Thanks to #Debian's #FOSS-developer best-practice of:

"**fixing a security problem is to make as few changes as possible**"

And other distros building on top of each other, in collaboration.

#FOSSinAction:

"A. Pollock" (debian.org), had an idea for a very useful feature (thx, btw! 🌻️) for molly-guard: Prevent accidential shutdown of distributed and virtual #GNU #Linux PCs by #FQDN.

"F. Marier" (debian.org), confirmed merging it back upstream.

Meaning: **From /then on/ that use-case is solved. for all IT.**
For good. #NoNeedToUpdate ☮️ 🗿

> I'd love to see stories and best-practices like that at schools and unis.
