Well, it is handy for those sailing the high seas…

It’s fun to remind them that he’s never won against a man.

For reasons that don’t make any sense to me, that seems to really bother them. 🤔

Yeah, but Biden was just so old. Many people said so!

Yeah, I just set it to the default blinds option, but it’s all automated, so I never touch it.

Before you stand two doors, one leads to safety and the other to certain death. Guarding them are two people. You may ask only one question, but beware! One always tells the truth, and the other is Trump.

I’m no expert, but I think of it as two layers: your layer on top (where you keep things important to you) and the system layer on the bottom (what makes the computer actually run). Most people don’t care about that bottom layer, so may as well make it immutable.

Rebasing is like lifting up your top layer and pivoting it onto a new bottom layer of a similar “os”. Updating is the same thing, it just pivots to an updated version of the same os. In either case, if something goes wrong, you reboot and choose the previous version and it pivots your top layer back.

It’s been a while since I installed Bazzite but I remember it having an on boarding where you selected what you needed and it installed it for you. I skipped most of it. And I know Bluefin has a command you can run to install basic gaming programs. So you have options.

The only other suggestion is to figure out whether KDE or Gnome desktop environment is right for her. Former more Windows-like, latter more Mac-like. And then just make sure to grab that version of Bazzite.

They need to be made to have malpractice insurance like doctors. So when they lose lawsuits it’s not the taxpayer paying. And eventually they’ll just be too expensive to insure.

Bazzite should work with your nvidia and everything else. And from the way you described yourself, you may like Bazzite’s immutability better, since it’s much harder to break than kubuntu is. Just make sure you get the KDE version. I also installed it on my steamdeck and love it.

That’s really the gist of it. For the 96% who just need a working computer and aren’t messing with system files, immutable is perfect. You really can’t break it unless you try.

Go with Bazzite. It just works, she can’t break it, and as long as she reboots from time to time, it’ll always be up to date. And she won’t have to learn anything to use it.

Bazzite is more aggressive with kernal updates and comes with a ton of gaming options and packages preconfigured. Bluefin is a designed more for productivity, but you can still game on it. It’s just not it’s main focus.

But as long as you stay within the same DE, you can rebase from one to another.

Oh you’re right. I don’t KDE so I gave the Silverblue equivalent accidentally. I’ll edit it.

They’ll just Weekend at Bernie’s him. His base would believe it.

If you’re not primarily a gamer, Bazzite has a sister Kinoite Aurora (or Bluefin if you want Gnome, but you said you like KDE), which is the same underlying OS, but not preconfigured for gaming. I use Bluefin on my laptop and Bazzite on my steam deck, and yeah I love not having to think about it.

Also, have you read about rebasing?

edit: Kinoite and Silverblue are Fedora’s default atomic distros. Aurora and Bluefin are the equivalents that are preconfigured out of the box for ease of use and related to Bazzite.

I guess if there’s the Lincoln bedroom, there can be the Epstein Ballroom.

Well yeah, he learnt his lesson after he was impeached and Susan Collins furrowed her eyebrows.

Or they thought this through, beyond I’m gonna build a ballroom, start the backhoes!

He meant mark them as raid bosses.
