      Atomic is all-or-nothing upgrades / block upgrades instead of individual packages

      Immutable is a read-only operating system root (yes, you have access to /etc, fedora got pedantic about this)

      You can have one, the other, or both, or none.

      See my reply to OP for sources but there are more than just the two I referenced.

        No it’s not. Fedora got pedantic about the term “immutable” but there are more than a few that use Atomic or Immutable and they are different things.

        Atomic is all-or-nothing upgrades, Immutable is a read-only OS structure (this is what Fedora got picky about as being ambiguous).

      They refer to the same thing, but people have been preferring “atomic” over “immutable” recently.

        No, they aren’t. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills reading these comments.

        What is an immutable operating system? Before we can discuss what differentiates Ubuntu Core from other immutable operating systems, we must first define the properties that make an OS immutable:

        Read-only: The primary characteristic of an immutable OS is that the running system cannot be directly modified by users or applications.

        Atomic updates: Updates are applied atomically; meaning they’re successfully applied all at once or not at all.
