    People always talk about the learning curve and compromises, but Linux is finally in the “shit just works” stage, so it’s not much different than the Mac/PC decision people make every day.

    Heck, in a lot of ways it is more similar to Windows than Mac is, so it should be an easier decision. For some reason though, everyone still treats it like… Well… It would be like treating Windows like you still have to know DOS.

    That’s just not true anymore.


  • Non immutable just means that your system isn’t locked down to make sure you don’t accidentally break something. Some people have a strong preference for it one way or another.

    As to why it might help, every distro comes with a custom mix of software and tweaks. Bazzite is fedora based while Garuda is Arch based. Some things may work better or worse with less tweaking.

    So if you are frustrated enough to consider something else and aren’t committed to an immutable distro, it might be worth experimenting with.

    Tabs are a totally different thing with completely different properties than any particular number of spaces.

    If you are thinking of tabs in terms of how many spaces they are, you are doing tabs wrong.

    A tab is really a jump to a specific measurement that you set. That most word processors have tab stops automatically every half inch has only helped train people to not understand tabs.






  • I tried Bazzite as my first try with Linux for a while and liked it; it was super easy. I didn’t like that the immutability went so far as to lock me out of some parts of the OS that I thought should be open, like lock screen customization.

    Now I am on Garuda Arch and it has been really easy too.
