Go with Bazzite, it tries to mimic SteamOS out of the box. Very easy install/setup process (easier than windows).
Bazzite is Fedora Kinoite with some extra stuff, Kinoite might be better for a desktop setup but either one is totally useable for gaming and desktop so don’t overthink it.
I think immutability actually takes away from the confusion and kind of makes the overall experience much more similar to windows where editing system files is something rarely done even among most power users.
I would suggest installing Fedora Kinoite, poke around it for 20-30min and if you find it too confusing then just putting windows back.
My point is that it’s not a big decision/commitment. And it’s trivial to undo!
Using a PC is going to be safer actually because it’s easier to block most of the telemetry. Bonus points for Linux.
Is there some feature you need that is sprcific to mobile devices?
+1 for this recommendation. Gnome is going to feel more familiar to a MacOS user and Silverblue is very resilient.
Using a camera on public property in the EU is broadly very legal.

This is literally literally a drama article
It’s annoying to be treated that way isn’t it?
Please don’t sealion me.
That’s a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.
Anyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like “Torvalds Drops support After Clash!”

I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.
Are you sure? Are lemm.ee posts showing as deleted for you? It looks like the copies of anything posted to lemm.ee still exist on the instances that it was federated with. Try this link !animation@lemm.ee, I am pretty sure it should still work on your instance.
You’ve got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those “quirky, weird” websites people nostalgize over weren’t seeking clout, they were seeking connection.
I think it’s healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that “followers” are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making “art” with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then… that’s just a job, imo.
Just to be safe you may want to copy important files to a cloud storage AND usb drive before formatting the drive.
Also don’t overthink this and there is nothing wrong with Kubuntu, but Kinoite is going to be very similar and a little more resistant to n00b tinkering mistakes.
True, I edited my comment. I personally recommend the USB method (or if you have easy access to the internals- just swapping out an SSD).
It takes some doing, but you can live boot windows from a USB drive for those rare instances you need it. You can also just install it to a VM inside Linux (also not easy). But honestly these days the times where you’ll NEED Windows are few and far between (and getting fewer and farther).
Bazzite is a custom image of Kinoite, but I’m not surprised it’s taking off, it’s great.

Sam Altman and Andreessen Horowitz involvement should be all you need to know. But the reality is probably less dystopian than some people make it out to be. World to me just seems to be Altman trying to sell a solution to the problem that he’s trying to create with OpenAI (chatbots that are indistinguishable from humans).
