SteamOS isn't immutable, per se, but since each update is basically a new image and you have to enable sudoing capabilities intentionally, it is basically immutable.

Also, Bazzite exists and is actually immutable, and you don't lose access to any of the core features of SteamOS (like desktop mode). Dunno who their target audience will be, but it's certainly not power users.

Ah, thanks for correcting me. I've seen Steam OS being described as immutable but never dug into it to confirm. Lesson learned.

It kind of feels like they're just throwing out various buzzwords to catch everyone - "it'll be like the Nintendo approach but they really want input from power users", "it'll work on anything and everything" etc. Maybe I'm just being a bit too cynical... ╮( ˘ 、 ˘ )╭
