frankly, my $HOME can be easily backed up and restored, all my
customizations in /etc can't

or to say it different: when i lose my system state it takes me days
after a fresh install to get it back in details while the normal runtime
data can be easily restored

that's why i never installed from scratch any of the 50 fedora instances
(porudciton servers as well workstations) i am repsonsible for the past
decade

Atomic OS may have it's usecases but please stop thinking it's the only
one, the same applies tu UEFI, here are setups without and they will
continue

to give you an example:

there is a server for a small SOHO office 300 km away from me, it's
running since 2012 365/24 and the hardware is identical as 4 other
machines which are planned to be replaced next year, they will be the
fallback for that server and so this RAID setup will continue running
the next decade

given that it#s not an UEFI setup a traine dmonkey can move over the
hard drives and network cards, connect it and press the power button
