That part i understand, but is not a viable way to fork into another distro every update, ecen tho i believe or rocky linux or alma linux was going that route for now
I also don't really judge him, but i think that even thought the ideia was to go as a complete newbie to linux he should at least do some real research or whatch a feel youtube videos about before doing the challenge, i first installed ubuntu and after a afternoon i don't really wanned to keep using linux, them i watched some videos and started to use pop os on a live usb, after 2 days of using it instead of booting normally on windows 10 i wiped windows and never looked back
For what i understand they will fork the last version of RHEL and them just keep updating themselves, but i haven't really looked into it to know if that's the case
I believe it was before system76 created they own mirrors, so at the time a feel packages where handle by them and all the rest by the normal ubuntu mirrors, so steam would ask for a different gtk version them the desktop so the pop shop would refuse to install steam whitout updating the mirrors, if linus had clicked on the dropdown menu and choose the flatpak version none of this would happen, but instead he used the terminal and ignored the warning because was the first time that he used
If you can have permission to change the files inside "Android/data/" with your script you can delete the files with a loop and "rm -rf {cache folder}"
