"Immutable operating systems are a dramatic shift away from the traditional OS, where users can access and change everything on the OS... even system files. All you need is sudo access or the administrator password, and there's nothing you cannot do with the operating system. In the wrong hands, that can end in disaster. That's where immutability comes into play. With an immutable OS, the core of the system is mounted in read-only mode, so it cannot be changed."
"The first question that comes to mind is "What are sensible defaults?" When the developers create and package Aurora, they've configured the distribution such that it is immediately usable (by any user type) out of the box. In other words, you shouldn't have to spend much time with configurations or customizations. Install Aurora, log in, and start using it. There is only one caveat to those sensible defaults. If you open the desktop menu, you'll notice the lack of an office suite."
Immutable operating systems mount the core of the system in read-only mode, preventing changes and improving security against accidental or malicious modification. Aurora is an immutable desktop distribution based on Fedora that emphasizes Flatpak applications and KDE Plasma for a polished user experience. Primary features include sensible defaults for immediate usability, atomic updates, a unified app store, and expanded hardware support. The design minimizes initial configuration: install Aurora, log in, and begin using the system. One caveat to defaults is the absence of a preinstalled office suite in the desktop menu. Aurora is free to download and install.
