      Go atomic instead, assuming your needs are relatively limited. Here are the Fedora variants:

      • Silverblue - GNOME
      • Kinoite - KDE
      • Budgie - Budgie

      That way you don’t have to care about what’s going on under the hood, you just install your apps as flatpaks and you’re off to the races.

        Was looking at Silverblue and then found Universal Blue. Much easier: https://universal-blue.org/

        He probably only uses a web browser, so as long as you make it look familiar, he probably wouldn’t notice.

      Microsoft never had any different plot, it was always about this, from the very start.

    And this is why I finally dumped Windows on my personal devices. My work laptop is the only machine I use that still runs Windows, and I literally never touch it at home unless I work from home (extremely rare).

    I’m even raising my kids with Linux - the “family computer” (an ancient A1278 Macbook Pro from 2009) they use for homework runs Linux Mint, and does so really well.

    When going Linux just keeps printing dividends years later…

    Microshit has lost its fucking mind but I guess after they saw what Tim and Sundar got away with, they got big jellly.
