    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.
