No, because eyeballs are meat grapes.

Sure, but I wouldn’t expect an elderly user to be one of the people with the natural ability to nuke their OS.

I’ve daily driven Bazzite, an immutable distro, since July, and I haven’t seen the kind of Flatpak issues they talk about - or frankly any major issues, this whole experience has been way easier than Windows ever was with updates (it took me a few minutes to figure out Proton and Heroic launcher though). I didn’t know about the new Fedora update until I booted up and my lock screen was different. My experience is that Bazzite (and likely all of the other uBlue Fedoras) is fantastic and absolutely ready now.

That said, nothing is more stable than something like Debian. Unless you’ve got some hardcore gamer grandma I think the immutable distros are a solution to a problem not present in OPs hypothetical.

I regret not growing up in a Dr Bronners household.

Bazzite is fantastic and it’s what I’m running on my gaming laptop, but I’ve always wondered why you would want to put it on a Steam Deck? Is it for the people who use it as a laptop replacement?

And good news, Nvidia seems to have more or less fixed the second one a few months ago.

Yes, but now I regret not going for the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference.

You could just do a live install on a USB, and you don’t even have to install to your machine to try it out. Debian has live installs available for both KDE and Gnome and should be perfectly fine for just checking out the DE (and most distros have a live option, check to see if your preferred distro does), just know that it will be slow and you won’t see that in a proper installation.

Edit: just saw further down thread, Mint can do a live USB but you’ll probably just want Cinnamon with that. Bazzite does not have a live boot, and from my cursory glance at possibly running both DEs it seemed to be a bit more of a headache on Bazzite than other distros. Trying Gnome on a Debian live install will at least tell you if you like Gnome.

Wait, really? I guess I just noticed the affiliate link, I should order through the launcher in the future. It’s pretty great.

I got Bear and Breakfast a few weeks ago and that’s one I had on my Steam wishlist. Along with quite a few others.

I do feel the slightest bit of guilt whenever I get a have that I definitely would have bought otherwise, especially because I tend to like indie games, but from what I’ve heard they’re paid reasonably well to do it.

Bunsenlabs Linux (a successor to Crunchbang) still has it by default and their forums have some current conversations about it, maybe check there?

Samuel L Jackson knows what to do with an f bomb, give it to him.

Just because you didn’t like something doesn’t mean other people don’t. Adults who didn’t grow up eating Hershey’s chocolate frequently don’t like it due to a compound that they use to preserve it that tastes kinda like vomit. What you like is influenced by society and what you grew up eating.

Like other commenters have said, sour candies have always existed in some capacity (before Lemonheads it was likely candied fruit including lemons and limes), and back in the 90s Warheads were super popular due to the edgy marketing and the “kids doing foolish shit” factor. I’m part of the generation that grew up with Warheads being popular and I once kinda gave myself a chemical burn by sticking way too many in my mouth at the same time. Sour Patch Kids are one of my favorite candies now as an adult. And guess who the parents of the kids today are? Yup, the same people who ate the entire package of Warheads in one mouthful in a dare.

I got tired of doing this so I just started to leave the box on the counter until after I’ve set a timer. And it gives you something else to do while your pasta or whatever cooks.

We really need a Linux circlejerk community for this type of thing.

There’s “Keep St Paul boring” bumper stickers so they’re at least trying in this competition.
