Any recommendations for a linux distro that i can set up and be reasonably sure my non techy SO won’t break accidentally? The set up doesn’t have to be easy it just has to not break once I leave her alone with it. My first thought was popOS.

My plan is to have 2 profiles and not give her access to sudo. I just don’t want to have to go into it unless she needs a new program.

      Here’s the bazzite attempt at viral marketing, everyone.

      Remember when we saw it for MX Linux?

      Be careful about what you install on your computers.

      Edit: The incessant, vehement backlash against calling out shilling is always a telltale sign of shilling. Shills are not allowed to let people accuse them of shilling without going through their playbook of what to say next.

        Bro I’m the lead developer and I’m just now seeing this, just accept you called the viral marketing wrong.

        We’ve grown to the point that when I market something, I tell people not to listen to me because I’m biased.

          I tried mx for 7 minutes. it installed nvidia drivers and that killed it. off to the next distro I hopped, knowing the problem could have been easy to fix. shame, it seemed interesting.

          I never mentioned perfection.

          I hope people reading this can start to recognize shilling when they see it.

            “Someone mentions a distro they like” ≠ shilling. I use Bazzite and have been for months. Before that, used Nobara, EndeavourOS, and vanilla Fedora, along with a number of others I tried when I was distro-hopping. Wholeheartedly believe that Bazzite is currently the best generally-available Linux distro for gaming and is up there for general use. It’s not perfect, but nothing is - it gets close for the use-cases I mentioned, though.

        You know the build scripts which turn Fedora Kinoite into Bazzite are all open on GitHub, right… 🤦
