Fedora; from its 'flagship' Workstation, to their glorious Spins and their Immutable Desktops

Fedora Silverblue - pretty well-known at this point, but it’s championing immutability

Couldn't have said it better!

An example of an installable immutable OS is Fedora Silverblue. Notably, you can change the "distro" flavor of Silverblue to try out KDE and then just flip back to Gnome. Each change is seen as an "update" that just moves you over to the new GUI. The article below explains a bit more.

I guess something like Fedora Silverblue might offer you something (to paraphrase) "stupid proof". For example, in this case the rpm-ostree rollback command would have been sufficient. Disclaimer: rpm-ostree builds images, therefore it's by necessity slower than apt. Futhermore, until this change is merged and deployed you'd have to reboot for the changes to apply. You might want to look into Distrobox as well, perhaps it can solve your problems without having to change your distro.

However, I'll add one more that I'm especially fond of. It's one of the most 'stable'\1]) Linux desktop systems\2]) without sacrificing access to the latest kernel-updates and packages. It comes bundled with everything\3]) necessary for productivity right out of the box and is built on top of the fundamentals laid by Fedora's Immutable Desktops. Allow me to introduce uBlue; I know that I'll undersell it regardless, so I recommend you to check the provided link instead.

They make detailed arguments for their position, for example, https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/

The people who maintain the Linux security is fine also make arguments, but those arguments are much less convincing, such as the frequently-made argument that the fact that Linux's source code is readily available at no cost to anyone who wants to search it for security holes means that Linux's security will tend to be better than the security of systems whose source code is held secret.

That's somewhat telling and can be used to "track" you, consider reading on non-Reddit privsec learning resources like Privacy Guides itself which you already know, PrivSec.Dev, madaidan's Insecurities and the like.

Considering the offer is legitimate (something I won't comment on), you shouldn't do most of these things, in my opinion. Don't mess with what'll be other people's phones. Sell them Pixels pre-installed with GrapheneOS and print papers with Auditor attestation instructions and maybe a few QR codes directing them to relevant documentation and privsec learning resources, such as the GrapheneOS documentation first and foremost, Privacy Guides, madaidan's Insecurities, PrivSec.dev, Seirdy's Home, Wonderfall's Lab, etc...

i never used it myself. only learned about it from security experts like madaidan or hardening guides like this one.
