Relevant post I made:

A lot of people are going to recommend you mint, I honestly think mint is an outdated suggestion for beginners, I think immutability is extremely important for someone who is just starting out, as well as starting on KDE since it’s by far the most developed DE that isn’t gnome and their… design decisions are unfortunate for people coming from windows.

I don’t think we should be recommending mint to beginners anymore, if mint makes an immutable, up to date KDE distro, that’ll change, but until then, I think bazzite is objectively a better starting place for beginners.

The mere fact that bazzite and other immutables generate a new system for you on update and let you switch between and rollback automatically is enough for me to say it’s better, but it also has more up to date software, and tons of guides (fedora is one of the most popular distros, and bazzite is essentially identical except with some QoL upgrades).

How common is the story of “I was new to linux and completely broke it”? that’s not a good user experience for someone who’s just starting, it’s intimidating, scary, and I just don’t think it’s the best in the modern era. There’s something to be said about learning from these mistakes, but bazzite essentially makes these mistakes impossible.

Furthermore because of the way bazzite works, package management is completely graphical and requires essentially no intervention on the users part, flathub and immutability pair excellently for this reason.

Cinnamon (the default mint environment) doesn’t and won’t support HDR, the security/performance improvements from wayland, mixed refresh rate displays, mixed DPI displays, fractional scaling, and many other things for a very very long time if at all. I don’t understand the usecase for cinnamon tbh, xfce is great if you need performance but don’t want to make major sacrifices, lxqt is great if you need A LOT of performance, cinnamon isn’t particularly performant and just a strictly worse version of kde in my eyes from the perspective of a beginner, anyway.

I have 15 years of linux experience and am willing to infinitely troubleshoot if you add me on matrix.

No, it won't hold up for 50 years, but if you don't want one don't get it?

that's where regulators step in, do you honestly believe elon musk would not be implanting healthy people with neuralinks if regulators would allow? They won't, this is tech for people whose lives are so awful that not having one is worse than the things that may go wrong, for a very, very long time.

Why does it have to? All current bci's are designed for the disabled, why would this one be an exception?

this isn't for you, you're not a paraplegic, are you?

You live long enough to help paraplegics game?

I specialize in giving new users linux and documentation has not been an issue at all with bazzite, I just let them know to use rpm-ostree as little as possible ( and that it replaces the normal fedora package manager ) and only when necessary and search for atomic fedora for guides.

so far I have run into zero documentation issues that weren't just general linux ones. I think your claim might have been true a while ago but no longer is.

Tbh I copy and pasted a lot from a previous post I made about mint

in short yeah I think it's a pretty bad place in the modern era, but was a great one a few years ago, recommendations are slow to change with the times.

Tbh I don't agree at all that kubuntu is easier for beginners, that may have been the case 5 or so years ago, but bazzite and aurora are the best now, also there's literally no reason to use fedora over bazzite or aurora since they're literally the same thing except with some added packages and important fixes (especially the ffmpeg fix that makes twitch work)

I honestly think ubuntu based distros are an outdated suggestion for beginners, I think immutability is extremely important for someone who is just starting out, as well as starting on KDE since it’s by far the most developed DE that isn’t gnome and their… design decisions are unfortunate for people coming from windows.

I think only immutable kde distros should be recommended to beginners as a result, the mere fact that bazzite and other immutables generate a new system for you on update and let you switch between and rollback automatically is enough for me to say it’s better, but it also has more up to date software, and tons of guides (fedora is one of the most popular distros, and bazzite is essentially identical except with some QoL upgrades).

TBH do you actually think that there's some chance that nobody is testing these releases and this is happening to a massive number of people?

I've installed linux countless times on a SHITLOAD of computers and never faced any of these problems, realistically, you're very unlucky, and these sorts of things happen with windows all the time too.

I'm not saying your issues don't matter, but unless you have statistics that back you up, you can't say "it just works" to either OS.

I've had more of an "It just works" experience with linux literally hundreds of times.

I just need steam\proton\wine to support native wayland and then I'll remove xwayland from my system, can't wait

i'm on hyprland though

New hyprland patch can do pretty much all the xdotool stuff since they added a send key to window thing

1. I don't agree that this is overcomplicated, how would you improve it? The simple settings are in the middle and the advanced settings are also easily accessible
2. if you wanted something simple and not the advanced network settings wouldn't you just use the panel applet anyway?

Can you give an instance of plasma being overcomplicated?

Yo just for the record you made your life so much more difficult installing skyrim that way and not through steam\proton, even if you were pirating.

i have 15 years of experience and do infinite free linux troubleshooting on matrix if you want some help

I do question your moral choice of putting flavor above killing

To be clear, I do not. What I'm doing is morally wrong, in fact, it's morally terrible, but I do it anyway.

Did you choose to eat meat?

Yes.

What’s your logic?

There is none, I wholly accept that it is entirely illogical and unethical. I am addicted to the flavor. If I could have the flavors and textures without the killing i would switch in a heartbeat, however.

Which animals?

Any so long as it is delicious. Even human as long as the human wanted it and was not killed for the meat.

Would you eat dog?

Yes. It's no different than pig in my eyes.

These questions probably don't work on me because I was raised in a vegan/vegetarian restaurant as a child.

No, it's just fedora atomic with some qol... which is in fact, fedora.

Bazzite didn't even add immutability, the only things they added are a few packages for gaming, steam, and patent-issue free ffmpeg. It is really just fedora with some preinstalled packages.

What does eating the same foods you grew up with have to do with it?

i try all new things even bugs, but some foods I grew up with are delicious
