    Can you elaborate? Wouldn’t malware need to install something which would not happen on an immutable?

      Immutable distros can usually be set to mutable with the correct privileged command.

      It’s essentially security by obscurity. But I disagree with “no benefit”. An infection miss through dumb luck is still a miss, after all.

      If malware has root access it can do whatever it wants

      Things like SElinux and sandboxing is what secures systems.
