this is something else i guess, it’s not about UX but about how the system works kind of. i’m not exactly sure about how silverblue does it but think of it this way. not everything in your system needs to be mutable (your home dir does) so those parts are isolated and made immutable, the user cannot modify them, this helps to keep a more stable system. they can be changed when the system updates them , but it’s more like they are replaced and a one image is built rather than a modification if you will.

    Jup, you got it right, the “easier and accessible” part just arises as a byproduct of making Arch atomic. By nature this will make the install pre-configured and thus easier to get into even if this isn’t even the goal but rather just stability and peace of mind.
