And that distro, or rather distro family is Fedora Atomic distros.
Anyone completely switching off windows needs a bulletproof system, and you just can’t get that with other distros. Especially if you’re allowed to modify system files. Universal Blue is the only project I’d consider to be aligned with this idea.

- For the developer: Blue Fin
- For the gamer: Bazzite
Users can install new apps via the Bazaar, or command line tools via homebrew. And that’s it.
If you want to mess around with other systems, you can use distro shelf or a spare computer. But if you’re a newbie, I wouldn’t even recommend Linux Mint anymore.
My daily distro is EndeavourOS btw.


This is the exact assumption I’m pushing back against. Newbs will search “audio not working Ubuntu” and go down the list on google until that solution works for them. Most of the solutions will either be for older bugs, suggest to install random packages, or require opening a terminal. When in reality all they needed to do was switch their audio output device in KDE.
This is how we get the memes like “Linux user recompiles kernel just to open Firefox”
I started all the way back with Ubuntu 11. I’ve tried every OS under the sun, and all of them have just felt like a ticking time bomb until the OS shits itself during an upgrade.
I don’t understand what exactly you are arguing for.
Most folks don’t care. They won’t be shopping for an os.
I’ve been getting people on Linux for 20 years… Trust me, they don’t care about features, they care about being able to do their old workflow. These ppl are happy using a Chromebook.
Don’t worry about memes, haters gonna hate.
