So you think immutable distros aren’t the future of Linux? I’ve got some bad news for you: This style of distribution is catching on like wildfire and IMO someday they’ll almost all be structured like this and you’ll actually have to learn how to work with it.

I’m not sure how what I said is entitled. I’m a REALLY mediocre programmer with limited time to learn and I STILL learned Nix and work comfortably with immutable distros.

If you make your distros even more unintuitive and a hassle than before, then no, it certainly won't be the future. You people need a reality check.

It's really not unintuitive, honestly. It is just very different than FHS.

You people need a reality check.

"You people"?

If many things go from 1-2 steps to 20+ steps that I also have to read up on, but aren't even documented anywhere which means I also have to be some sort of all knowing mystic (meaning they might as well be not possible to do), then yes, that's very much unintuitive.

Maybe you "forward-thinking generation of software engineers that make elegant, reliable, declarative systems but are totally not entitled shitheads that insult everyone who clearly struggle with such elegancy" should actually listen to the issues that your potential user base is facing instead of dismissing them. Otherwise it will be hard to sell that "future" to them.
