    The main difference to your examples is that an “immutable OS” is in fact mutable, while none of your examples describe themselves with an adjective that is contradicting with their function/inner workings.

    Flatpak is a pretty good name, because it makes software flat in the sense that it avoids having a (tall) dependency tree.

      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.
