abroot is a utility providing full immutability and atomicity by transacting between two root partition states (A⟺B). Updates are performed using OCI images to ensure the system is always in a consistent state.
This approach allows safe system updates where changes can be rolled back if issues occur. The system boots from one root partition while changes are applied to the other.
