Actually what I meant by "immutable bookworm" is nothing more than a live iso (just a fancier name), typically created by the live-build package. However, because my technical level is so low I have not been able to create a live iso to suit our needs using the lb package. The above mentioned iterative approach definitely sounds low-tech but we have been able to successfully deploy it to help our students for more than a decade (started with Ubuntu now with Debian, for some reason have not been successful with Fedora or Red Hat clones.) We are not going back to Ubuntu but Any help or suggestions with regard to Fedora/RedHat will be appreciated.
As I mentioned above, a read-only "immutable" OS is very attractive to our students who are retired professionals many with advanced degrees. Many have seen the movie "Groundhog day"; every morning Bill Murray woke up by the alarm clock, it went back to exactly yesterday. Similarly, when you turn off an "immutable" system, all the garbages, viruses, and what have you that your visited web sites sneaked into your system will be gone. Of course, the exact technical term for this is a "live iso", but no one will give a dame about you are talking about. No one will remember it.
