One thing I have from immutable (atomic) distros, and is how cumbersome is installing apps that require root permissions.

Supposedly you have to use Distrobox. Even that never worked for me. I always have to resort to `rpm-ostree` and then uninstall it so BootC can update the system. Every single time.

#Linux friends! I'm an #Arch user looking for distro recommendations that work well in virtual machines. My experience is mostly with Arch, but I'm finding VMware doesn't officially support it. Are there any distros that offer a similar experience to Arch but work better in VMs? Or are there other accessible virtualization options I should consider? #Accessibility #VirtualMachine #LinuxDistros #ArchLinux #Vmware #tech #technology #blind @mastoblind @main

Okay. We're gonna poke the bear.

We're currently on Windows 10 on all our machines. All our family members use it too. We're not going to upgrade to Windows 11.

We're sure there will be a Windows 12 at some point, with built-in stuff that we don't want and can't easily remove until someone hacks it out.

So, if we were to attempt to make a move to a Linux distro where:

  • we'd get a Windows-like experience (minus the shitty bits)
  • we didn't have to ever use a command line console except for very advanced tasks
  • all our PC games would run
  • we could find Linux compatible versions (or compatibility layers) for decades of WIndows-only software

... where the heck would we even start?

Edit: Thank you so far for all the helpful suggestions and replies! We seriously do appreciate this, as it gives us somewhere to start gradually researching over time!
