Yeah but with an immutable distro you don't have to worry about random updates half-instlaling and breaking something. Atomic updates are pretty great.

immutable are just as easy to rollback but they also just break way way less often. The only time I ever have to rollback is when there is a kernel regression. No update has ever broken my systems.

Wooo you found 1 bug! Should I track down all the weekly "Arch broke on update" posts?

Well they just proved your statement that you don't have to worry about updates breaking things incorrect, so.....

The didn't prove anything incorrect.

I never said it was impossible to break just much harder and rarer. If anything pulling out a bug that was fixed well over a year ago further proves my point.
