Yeah you’re right, “atomic” is not the same thing as “immutable”, but they are related terms and OP appeared to be using them interchangeably so 🤷‍♀️

I didn’t say bricking, I was responding to the bit you wrote about immutability being “a fad”.

Immuteability is what enabled me to finally switch over full time. I don’t think a lot of geeks yet realize how huge they are going to be for wider-spread adoption.

idk I’ve gotten mine into a state i couldnt fix more times than I can count. Immuteable distros have been a game changer for me and if I’m being honest I think they’re going to be the biggest thing for mainstream adoption in Linux’s entire history.

Sudachi is also being updated, though it’s entirely minor issues and not compatibility related yet.

Haven’t used the command line since installing Kinoite, it’s… weird.

Good advice, also Fedora’s “atomic” distros are both bleeding edge and extremely stable!

I agree with you completely. No disrespect to Mint, but immutability is (IMO) possibly the most important advancement for Linux adoption in its entire history. I would love to see more distros release immutable versions.

I did not realize you were OP (or even had a Lemmy account) 😂

Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn’t caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It’s great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.

@rysiek@mstdn.social’s blog is one of my favorites. He really understand the social aspect to a lot of modern technology.

LOL yes I try not to speak like a FOSSite when talking with newbies. “Arch Linux does not yet have an adequate solution for the hammer problem (when your computer is hit with a hammer) so I can’t recommend it.”

I mean, rollbacks are quite literally a feature to prevent breaking it. That said I’ve never even had to roll back once.

Fedora Kinoite.

• You will basically never need the terminal.
• Highly tweakable, but out of the box is very similar to windows
• It’s immutable (impossible to break)
• App “store” makes sense and is not weird.
• Extremely fast.

Elite Force is where it’s at but Klingon has it’s place for sure.

So true for all FOSS projects, the more successful they become the more new users expect a customer service dept.

Yeah I have to imagine much of it is bots/artificial views already, this line from the article stood out:

That means this short reel has been viewed more times than every single article 404 Media has ever published, combined and multiplied tens of times.

It doesn’t shock me a single reel has significantly more views than all of 404 media, but “multiplied tens of times”? A recent comment me chuckle:

“Investor fraud is basically the entire business model of well basically everything anymore.”

(implying the ad views are faked to increase the stock price).

I think it’s interesting how “maximizing for engagement” inevitably leads to slop taking over everything. I wonder if real people (with real money) will continue to engage with the slop? Some people surely, but enough to sustain these mega-corps?

Fedora is a solid choice. I recommend Kinoite because it’s familiar to Windows users and impossible to break.

The nepotism part has always been true, and talentless celebrities have been around as long as the concept of “celebrity” has, but the category of celebrities “being famous for no reason” did not truly exist until Paris Hilton. Princesses and Kings aren’t “celebrities”.
