Bazzite is good for noobs looking for a gaming option because it’s “immutable” which means the OS filesystem can’t be edited, which makes it nearly impossible to break.

Mint is still very noob friendly, just not immutable. Both are solid options because neither one requires any command line to get it on-par with Windows.

I am trying out Kinoite now but it’s very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a “Just works” experience to start with.

Every. Single. Time.

With Linux being better for gaming and Mac still the place for creative software, Windows really is only for business users.

Not sure how Kagi will help with my supermarket loyalty card but thanks anyway

Tried and couldn’t! Was hoping someone here could highlight something I missed but seems no.

Eh, not really. I don’t use google and I block trackers anyway.

I understand that running services costs money, and I’ve heard nothing but good things about Kagi. Can anyone here convince me it’s worth the price?

I have no issue with using AI to find otherwise undiscovered security bugs. But attempting to fixing them with AI I’m not in favor of.

Nobody is stopping you

If they are coming from Windows: Kinoite

If they are coming from Macintosh: Silverblue

This is the right answer OP!
