    What is Silverblue? (Fedora Magazine)
    Fedora Magazine has posted an introduction to
    the Silverblue distribution    . "One of the main benefits is security. The base operating system is mounted as read-only, and thus cannot be modified by malicious software. The only way to alter the system is through the rpm-ostree utility.

    Another benefit is robustness. It’s nearly impossible for a regular user to get the OS to the state when it doesn’t boot or doesn’t work properly after accidentally or unintentionally removing some system library.    "
