When I was 13 and still watching LTT I had an extremely old dell optiplex with a 3rd or 4th gen i7 that was really starting to slow down on Windows; I just thought it was old hardware (partially true) but then LTT released a video about Pop_OS and was like “oo what’s Linux” and just deleted Windows and installed it. Never looked back! Everything was super snappy and I was really shocked.

greg just fucking cooked

unless maybe it automatically restarted and put all my applications back on screen that I had running, not sure. but I know it didn’t shut down since I literally hit the power button and it was immediately on, it was asleep.

they have an option which lets you turn off automatic updates

and with immutable distro’s, you can always rollback to a previous state instantly and not update the OS if you don’t want to, just the applications.

goodluck! hopefully Manjaro won’t push another broken package!

Bazzite is my first true experience with an immutable distro, and wow, what a magical moment it was.

I’ve been eyeing on fedora 40’s release for some time now because it fixes all the Wayland problems for Nvidia cards. One night my grandma needed some help, so I walked away from my PC, it automatically suspended, came back 30 or so minutes later, and when I logged in I was just automatically on KDE 6 with fedora 40, didn’t even reboot.

This is truly the year of the Linux desktop.
