    Just switched to Fedora Kinoite and I’m loving the immutability of the OS. Oh bad update? lol rollback and golden. Can’t do that shit with each bloatware force push from MS

      Been running Bazzite for a while now, and love it. Basically Kinoite but built for gaming.

      Took me a little bit to get a grasp on ostree, but I really like it.

        Just wanna add another Bazzite recommendation! If you’re on the fence and feeling like “but my games!” - Bazzite’s got your back. Shit works great.

      It is already the year of the Linux Desktop for me and has been for years. Anyone who run GNU+Linux exclusively is already there.

        Me too, since 2016. I dabbled in dual-booting on and off since about 2k, but went full Linux in 2016 and have never looked back.

    I don’t want them to, but I don’t get why Microsoft don’t just roll out updates the way Android/Linux do. Free. They’ve already adopted the Google method of moneymaking by embedding spyware into everything in the OS. Surely they could stop most of their headaches by doing that? Not that I care. Linux user here for roughly 16 years, sometimes having to go back to Windows hurts. It hurt a lot recently, having to dig out an old windows laptop to ironically install Ubuntu touch on to a phone (OnePlus Nord N10). I had tons of updates and had to install features and so much other stuff just to use it. 🤕
