  • Immutable distros works great when you want them exactly as they come. Anything else is a shit show IMHO.

    As an example, multiple fedora based immutable distros dont have the codecs required to play YouTube videos. You have to either replace the rpm-ostree based Firefox with the flatpaks one or layer ffmpeg over the base system. Both solutions I wouldn’t expect someone without Linux knowledge to be able to do.




















  • It’s a pretty standard process to have some parts installed “loose” and tightened at a later time. It could be to ensure fitment, add rigidity or even just to protect the mating surfaces from the elements during transport.

    Also it’s probably not just because Boeing is gonna open them up that they don’t fully secure them. I haven’t seen the specs but it’s quite common to have a reinspection requirements when disassembling something that was fully installed for stress and damage.

    Pretty much nothing in aerospace is left to communications. The assembly manuals are not just complete, they are painfully exhaustive.
