That's really astute, I've never seen that comparison drawn so directly. It's the same situation with the people who claim that AI "democratizes" art by allowing someone to have a "work" of art without putting in the work of creating which is what makes a work a thing to be desired in the first place.
Compared to Windows. To be clear I'm just basing that on vibes, and I haven't done any 1:1 testing, but it's absolutely not any worse than Windows with everything I've tried. But also, even if it was slightly worse, the benefit of almost never needing a mouse/keyboard still would make it worth it.
Yep well said. My hope is that Google's recent changes will encourage some activity into other projects or (even better) a Linux Phone OS.
Honestly, I like Bazzite because it's very controller and gaming friendly and you won't be disappointed with it. That said, for a daily driver workstation computer you might want to try Fedora Kinoite which is very similar but focused towards desktop use.
Also it doesn't hurt to try both as I said they're very similar! Would love to hear a follow up on your experience.
I've been trying out Bazzite with an Nvidia GPU and performance is slightly better but the overall experience is significantly improved over windows.
That's actually interesting because Google's MVNO is on T-Mobile and Google was pushing hard for RCS.
Oh my goodness automatic theme transitions finally!
Oh interesting I read "atomic" and assumed it meant small. As in small updates to an immutable system.
It's actually slightly less risk especially for someone's PC you won't be around 100% of the time to help fix. Immutable just means the system files can't be edited.
The "atomic" part means it gets frequent (daily, if desired) updates but you can change in the settings to only check monthly so it doesn't feel crazy.
I support this and would suggest Fedora Kinoite which is Fedora's immutable version with KDE Plasma and is very very hard to meaningfully break.
When billionaires complain about how windmills "ruin the view" but then are quiet about oil rigs, you can tell that it's not about the view.
