From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If I remember correctly they do have rollback, at least in openSUSE Aeon (the immutable version based on Tumbleweed) . It just using btrfs snapshots
(Sorry corrected the comment)
Yes, they have rollbacks for one previous version.
But the whole point of
rpm-ostree
is that you can be bit-for-bit the same as the upstream OS. If you dorpm-ostree reset
you will go back to the latest but untampered system of Fedora.On OpenSUSE microOS (and the others, please invent a name), you either install and immediately snapshot the system. Then you can fall back to an untampered but very outdated system. Or you need to reinstall afaik, which makes it not better than traditional distros.
