It's not just about the verification/reproducibility, these random ass .deb files sometimes don't have proper dependency information and/or repository support. So it may work for now and might stop working on the future when some library upgrades on your system. Or even worse, they may fucking block system library upgrades leaving you insecure at worst and out of support at best.

I highly recommend GNU units for stuff like this. It's insanely powerful. See the following comment for its immense versatility

Yes, they're not mutually exclusive. In fact owning the means of production would give the workers more financial stability and might lead to better home ownership.

Look around the status quo, how many people do you think can afford owning a home in the current situation?

I'm a bit behind on these immutable distros and have a small question. People keep saying you can just switch to another image if you want to switch desktop environments. But how does this solve the problem of the config files of the various DEs (GTK rc files or other theme stuff) messing with each other in the home directory? Because this was always a pain in the ass in normal distros

I guess it's a basic thing which I can't do
