ChromeOS and macOS already use this sort of model.

I don't doubt that. But which Linux distributions would support it? Red Hat I am sure. Perhaps OpenSuse. But any others?

I can see NixOS doing similar things. It's all about declarative configuration.

Also very useful for embedded Linux distros, an A/B setup can help protect against update corruption due to power loss. If one of the two fails to boot, it can try the other, and retry the update.

Does that matter? If the idea flies and someone does the work (maybe the opposite order) a new one could emerge.
