Least if it's a Linux system, they don't need to buy any software to sort it out. It's free and out in the open. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah? Immutable distro, clownstrike kernel panic, what tool do you use now? Remember, you 'need' clownstrike. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] jabjoe@feddit.uk -1 points 2 years ago I don't need some closed blob, with auto updates, in my OS. I doubt many Linux people would be happy with that. To deal with a bad update, I'd boot a Btrfs snapshot from before the bad update. 'grub-btrfs' is great. I confess, it works great for my laptop, but I've not yet got it on one of my server. When I finally rebuild my home server, I will though. Work servers, I hope won't always be my problem! permalink fedilink source parent
