"Your own software" here refers to anything beyond the base OS. Don't take Ubuntu as example, as it ships a shitton of extras to be a "useful" OS for beginners.

And no, we're not necessarily talking about containerisation (albeit that IS the next step in atomic OS approaches, making every installed software precisely reproducible and separate from the OS, even with things like Flatpak or Snap packages), just separating an easily reproducible, atomic OS, and any software you put on top.

The idea is that you treat every computer like you'd a public one - it's an insecure thin client you build on top.
