I restored Discover to my Bazzite install using a Systemd-Sysext. Essentially a sub disk image that is loaded during boot of the immutable system, that way you dont have to layer all the plasma components this would usually require!

Neat! No shade to the #bazaar devs

If people want instructions I guess I can write something up over the weekend

I just read lwn.net/Articles/1020571/ in which is

One thing that has been a bit of a pain point, Wick said, is that nested sandboxing does not work in Flatpak. For instance, an application cannot use Bubblewrap inside Flatpak. Many applications, such as web browsers, make heavy use of sandboxing.
.
They really like to put their tabs into their own sandboxes because it turns out that if one of those tabs is running some code that manages to exploit and break out of the process there, at least it's contained and doesn't spread to the rest of the browser.
.
What Flatpak does instead, currently, is to have a kind of side sandbox that applications can call to and spawn another Flatpak instance that can be restricted even further. ""So, in that sense, that is a solution to the problem, but it is also kind of fragile"." There have been issues with this approach for quite a while, he said, but no one knows quite how to solve them.

Notwithstanding the rise & rise of numerous #atomic / #immutable distros, which thus rely heavily on flatpak usage by users, i still substantially prefer "traditional" mutable distros, & native pkgs.

After reading this article, & attempting to understand it [not my area of expertise at all], i feel even more motivated to keep avoiding running any browser as a flatpak version.

Thoughts pls, from others who would certainly have a better understanding than i?

For some reason Meshuggah remastered their latest album, which is, ironically, titled "Immutable". I guess that's easier than putting out an actual new album. They added some live songs at the end, because every studio album experience needs to be destroyed by having less-good versions of the same songs tacked onto the end.

I like a good live album, *sometimes*, but live tracks tacked onto studio albums is always a bad listening experience.

I am thinking about #immutable data backups. No software solutions that malware or ransomware can get around. Something old school with a physical lock on it, think the tab on a casset, or switch on a 2.5' floppy.

Is the only equivelent in the modern day the large format SD (SDXC) card? What other options exist out there for home use?
