Is there a plan for an immutable version of POP OS?
Same kinda deal with their btrfs snapshots. An announcement that it's coming with a new iso, a couple days of work, and then nothing for the last year.

Pop!OS not setting up subvolumes for btrfs has to be done manually which is a pain.
I've been waiting for this to happen too: https://github.com/pop-os/snapshot

Pop_OS! Devs, it's time to implement BTRFS in the OS .
They are implementing it and have said there will be an iso that defaults to btrfs with snapshots in the near future
- btrfs with timeshift should become the default in Pop

Is there a plan for an immutable version of POP OS?
There is a github repo for the work they were doing on it. They said it was coming and then worked on it for a couple of days and then nothing for the last 5 months.

Question about immutability
Over time, more and more immutable desktop distros started to emerge, with some of them even being rather promising; Vanilla OS, Pop!_OS' WIP, Serpent OS(/Solus 5) and very recently Ubuntu. So it made sense to dig deeper and try to comprehend what distinguishes these from one another.

A question for Pop!_OS devs. How will be the transition from GNOME to Cosmic when it will be released?
With Pop we get new kernels and Mesa. Having a newer kernel or Mesa used to be a big factor in going with a more bleeding edge distro for games. Seems like S76 has our back for that. I'm really excited to see how u/jackpot51 does with Pop Core as it has been a while without an update: https://github.com/pop-os/core

Noob Question, how to move off of LTS to non-LTS Release?
System76 is also working on an immutable core which should be helpful: https://github.com/pop-os/core
