- The Lockdown: The user cannot minimize the browser, access a terminal, right-click the desktop, or switch TTYs (virtual consoles). The system effectively becomes a kiosk machine.
- Read-Only Filesystem: The root filesystem is mounted as read-only. Every time the system reboots, it returns to a pristine state. Any temporary downloads, cache, or history from a user session is wiped instantly. This is the "Holly Grail" for public computing hygiene.
Performance: It’s incredibly fast. Because it lacks the bloat of a traditional desktop environment, it can make even older hardware feel snappy.
