I was just wondering, would immutable distros be even less affected than Unix systems in general?
-
depends.
is your bios writable?
do programs stay written to memory after cycle?
-
is that the goal with immutable distros? i thought they were primarily used for rollbacks.
-
There is no security benefit with immutable Linux
-
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.
