Atomic is all-or-nothing upgrades / block upgrades instead of individual packages Immutable is a read-only operating system root (yes, you have access to /etc, fedora got pedantic about this) You can have one, the other, or both, or none. See my reply to OP for sources but there are more than just the two I referenced.
