I installed Bottles, but was disappointed when it didn’t actually have anything to do with bottles.

If you think every name of every product, etc., is going to be literal… you’re gonna have a tough time in life.

Bottles is a noun and not an adjective.

Also bottles has no IT related meaning, while immutable does.

“Immutable OS” is not a product name.


An “immutable” OS becomes mutable whenever a user wants to change anything on it.

Now imagine I keep describing my car as undrivable, because it only becomes drivable when somebody gets in and drives it. - You’d think that this is a completely deranged statement.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
