Perhaps this will change drastically with immutable distros

What is immutable distros?

I'm not the best person to explain, but they're distros with a read-only root filesystem. In some implementations, any changes, like installing a new package, or upgrading a version, can be interpreted as migrating a system from a state to another. This can mitigate some security risks and make machines easier to maintain.
