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 non programmer: Aurora
- 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.
Atomic systems are terrible for people that want to do something besides basic stuff.
My buddy tried bazzite twice and swapped back because he couldn’t manage to install modded games, emulators and the like. All the guides were for normal installs, not the fancy atomic bullshit. He even managed to break it twice, idk how. I think it’s related to a KDE plugin for wallpapers but I’m not sure. In any case, bulletproof my ass.
