I agree re: Fedora, especially the atomic varieties. I do think Zorin is good at what it is but it has a pretty specific use case.
Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.
Had the same thought, it’s always nice to encounter a civilized person of distinguished taste and culture out in the wilds.
Even without costs you will always have some faction of FOSS users who view UIs and user-friendliness to be something that can be optimized away (and will always, always, let you know their feelings on the topic).
It’s not a scam at all, Zorin is a good distro.
10/10 this is the future of Linux
Totally agree
op asked about the r/linux community which was not mentioned in either of your comments
I’m having trouble following, you’re suggesting that the Linux subreddit continues to exist because of some corporate conspiracy to keep users on commercial media platforms?
Yeah you’re right, “atomic” is not the same thing as “immutable”, but they are related terms and OP appeared to be using them interchangeably so 🤷♀️
I didn’t say bricking, I was responding to the bit you wrote about immutability being “a fad”.
Immuteability is what enabled me to finally switch over full time. I don’t think a lot of geeks yet realize how huge they are going to be for wider-spread adoption.
idk I’ve gotten mine into a state i couldnt fix more times than I can count. Immuteable distros have been a game changer for me and if I’m being honest I think they’re going to be the biggest thing for mainstream adoption in Linux’s entire history.
Sudachi is also being updated, though it’s entirely minor issues and not compatibility related yet.
Haven’t used the command line since installing Kinoite, it’s… weird.
Good advice, also Fedora’s “atomic” distros are both bleeding edge and extremely stable!
I agree with you completely. No disrespect to Mint, but immutability is (IMO) possibly the most important advancement for Linux adoption in its entire history. I would love to see more distros release immutable versions.
LOL yes I try not to speak like a FOSSite when talking with newbies. “Arch Linux does not yet have an adequate solution for the hammer problem (when your computer is hit with a hammer) so I can’t recommend it.”
I mean, rollbacks are quite literally a feature to prevent breaking it. That said I’ve never even had to roll back once.
Fedora Kinoite.
Fedora is a solid choice. I recommend Kinoite because it’s familiar to Windows users and impossible to break.
