Is there a way to make #nixos truly immutable? I get the declarative nature of nixOS. But where I’m coming from, immutable also means some parts of the filesystem are isolated. Is there any native way to achieve this?

@oscillator you can use the image based model of nixos and many things becomes cryptographically immutable, is that what you want?
