Debian has this (well, for sources at least) and I think it's somewhere between 20-30 DVD images for actually-everything. Maybe not something for the day-to-day but great to keep on hand for preppers and the paranoid (:
Linux MATE desktop is pretty established and I think has a similar audience. Pretty confusing name choice... "want to install mate on linux? Try linuxmate (no relation)"
BTW are those actually your reasonings on the blog as you say? It reads very LLMy.
What makes you suspect the Nginx config instead of Lemmy? Do you have any failing requests (timeout or statuscode >= 400) in nginx log? What are the failing endpoints?
Both can be true.
I think such character assessment and calling names is unnecessary and off-topic here though. Better engage with substance than judging by vibes and doing ad-hominem.
I guess they now have large enough number of users that it would be wise to shift some focus to supply-chain security from growth-hacking.
This is growing pains.
Ventoy is risky and a bit sus for such a security-critical software.
Glim is another solution for ISO-multiboot-USB that doesn't require as much trust.
Cool! Keeping up with platform changes is a challenge for projects like this. I think to be successful beyond initial popularity you need an active community that can do this together. It's draining for just one person - especially once you get big enough that they might actively break things just to mess with your integration. Following maintenance of alternative YouTube clients as well as searx-ng is illustrative.
Not to discourage but be prepared. Best of luck!

The concept is attractive.
Since back before "atomic" and "immutable" were fashionable buzzwords, I've had a few Alpine installations running something like this. Their installer supports it. https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Immutable_root_with_atomic_upgrades
I guess I'm also not alone in having been running OpenWrt with atomic upgrades for many years.
Since then been running a ublue fork (Aurora) for a while now. Forking it and running the builds on my own infra instead of relying on their GitHub works after hacking up the workflow files but it's quite redudandant and inefficient with IMO one too many intermediate layers (kinoite -> akmods -> main -> aurora/silverblue/bazzite -> iso) downloading the same things multiple times repeatedly despite spending considerable overhead on caching. It's clear that building outside of their GitHub org is not really actively supported.
Also tried openSUSE microOS (Aeon) a year or two back for a while. I want to like it but find zypper and transactional-update pretty uncomfortable and TBH sometimes still confusing to work with. Installing it on encrypted RAID was daunting IIRC. Rough edges. Enough out-of-date docs on the official site to make Debian wiki look like ArchWiki in comparison.
KDE Linux looks promising but it was still in a very early and undocumented stage last I looked. Great to see the progress.
More recently been looking more at Arkane Linux and been using it for some months now. It's an immutable with Arch base. Much easier to customize and maintain than the ublue options and a lot less time spent triggering and waiting for builds - while having less stuff pulled from third-party servers in the process and an easy way to fork packages by cloning and submoduling an AUR repo. Lot more straightforward to make work without relying on GitHub. If you're looking at rolling your own builds and are comfortable with Arch, I highly recommend checking it out. My fav so far.

Given the self-contained nature of Debian - cloning the Debian sources is enough to do a complete offline build of everything - I think it'd be the most interesting base for a sustainable immutable distro unless you go to the opposite end with "distroless" (no comment). Looking forward to one.
It isn't your reasoning and promoting it as such when asking us to read doesn't feel honest at all.
