What are you on about? You wanted to know what could go wrong during package install. I listed possibilities. You can’t just dismiss them as exceptional when the whole point of the snapshots is to guard against exceptional failures.

Why would you expect the general case to go wrong? Of course an error is the exception. Cars don’t have seatbelts and airbags for general driving operation. They are there for the exceptional case something goes wrong. Most people will never need them in their life.
“Yes, do as I say”
A power outage during install.
Trying out experimental stuff.
Uninstalling critical packages.
Someone at $distribution fucked up packaging.
You could just as well ask why an immutable system must be immutable. The safeguards are not there for normal operation. They are supposed to help you with fatal irregularities.

In that case maybe talk to her about having an open relationship. Should make it easier for all.

Honestly, that’s the same thing I got with BTRFS+snapper. It creates a snapshot before and after any Package installation. In case anything goes wrong I can just go back to a previous snapshot. And on top of that I can easily install native packages and don’t lose any disk space to multiple partitions.
I’ve come to despise immutable operating systems since first encountering them in Android.
Yeah, I should have that lying around here somewhere. But if I recall correctly it actually did not work on my PC back then.
You can probably find an iso on archive.org.
Unreal Tournament 2003 actually came with a bootable DVD that would boot directly into Linux and run the game.

It would fit the mostly Nordic naming scheme but still credit me as the creator.

Nah, Supreme Court is abbreviated as SCROTUM.
All the time. Like at some point SC stopped meaning StarCraft and started meaning Splinter Cell. And don’t let me get started about the famous roleplaying game PoE. Yes, or course I mean Pillars of Eternity and not Path of Exile.
I don’t like App Image because I have to manage everything myself or use a helper that may or may not be able to manage everything about all App Images.
But sometimes the dev supplied package is the only way to get an up to date package.

Yeah, this meme is bullshit but gets still posted every other month or so. Windows can also just kill a process, similar to sigkill.
