@pid_eins Is there any distro that has implemented automatic boot assessment, as you suggested?

@raito @david There were a number of Pull Requests for this feature (one implementation was even merged to master for 20 minutes) but none is currently available, no? I'd really love to use this feature, just today one of my boxes would have been saved by that 👍

@makefu @david for UKI, it was already available, for normal NixOS usecases, yes, it was merged recently but I have been using it for a while

@david
Any inmutable. All of them works this way by design.

@karlggestd @david not really true. The ones that use systemd-boot migth, but boot counting in grub is pretty useless and manual if you ask me.

@pid_eins @david wow, My mistake, I assumed that Aeon was the most delayed project (they are with the latest RC).

@pid_eins @karlggestd @david You can do it, but it is involved. But basically, using BootNext entries in EFI and only setting the fixed boot order after the system is booted is what I implemented for an immutable digital signage project.

@karlggestd @david @pid_eins Fedora Silverblue doesn't, according to my experience.

@david @pid_eins Yes there are distros and commercial distros that hook into that RHEL for Edge and Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System automatically rollback after a number of failed boots. Any rpm-ostree/ostree/bootc based OS is capable of it.
