I think what you're looking for a VPS. Basically, you pay a company a small fee in exchange for an account on a large computer system. Nobody is going to set up your personal RPi for you...
My understanding is that most immutable distributions store the root filesystem in a read-only partition separate from userspace. If you want to install something that would modify this partition, it is applied temporarily until reboot. On reboot, the operating system attempts to resolve your changes, and if they break something it will reject them.
Each OS might implement immutability differently, but I believe that's the general idea. macOS is another example of an immutable operating system, as of Big Sur.
Brave is trying to create an ecosystem where you use the browser to access their many "free" services. Once they run out of venture capital money and they've got people hooked, it's a slippery slope. Just my two cents though. I never loved Brave's corporate personality to begin with.
I re-downloaded Brave the other day, and I was disappointed to recall how bloated it feels. The attention tokens, crypto wallet, in-house search engine, trialware VPN, etc.—it's for someone, but not me...
Ubuntu has been my daily driver for about ten years; but I've also had rendezvous with OpenSUSE, Linux Mint, RedHat, Arch, and Zorin. Nix has been on my mind, but I always come back to Ubuntu.
I really like this idea, but I don't think it should be opt-in. Generative AI tools have such a high potential for misuse that some form of provenance should be baked into the network architecture
Just because you don't like the top result doesn't mean it is irrelevant EDIT: I am in fact an asshole. I see the problem now 😂
