And that distro, or rather distro family is Fedora Atomic distros. Anyone completely switching off windows needs a bulletproof system, and you just can’t get that with other distros. Especially if you’re allowed to modify system files. Universal Blue is the only project I’d consider to be aligned with this idea. For the non programmer: Aurora For the developer: Blue Fin For the gamer: Bazzite Users can install new apps via the Bazaar, or command line tools via homebrew. And that’s it. If you want to mess around with other systems, you can use distro shelf or a spare computer. But if you’re a newbie, I wouldn’t even recommend Linux Mint anymore. My daily distro is EndeavourOS btw.

Nope. Hate to keep litigating this around here, but the shift alone is enough. Explaining to people WTF an immutable filesystem is a sure way to frustrate them into giving up, despite whatever comms finesse you might THINK you have. Counterpoint: STOP SUGGESTING IMMUTABLE DISTROS TO NEW USERS For people who just want a functional OS, they don’t want to have to think about new rules. They need a quick off-ramo from Windows that acts as they expect. Package management is already enough a mindfuck for people switching, then you’re throwing in containers, permissions, flatpack vs native packages, what sandboxing is, why your browser likely can’t just upload a simple fucking file, and why your camera doesn’t work on Zoom, because you have a meeting in 10 minutes. Unless you are handing people something akin to a mobile OS with everything all inclusive and configured so EVERYTHING works off the bat, you’re doing such a huge disservice to people switching over. You need to stop, and I yield my time.
