    Especially if SteamOS remains immutable when it lands, then I really won’t be able to suggest it except for situations like “my kids have a habit of blowing up their computers” or something.

      I actually like immutable OSes exactly because most people do have a habit of blowing up their computers.

        All I want is for people to make informed choices when picking an OS for a machine. An immutable OS has value in the right circumstances, but if you weren’t expecting that it would definitely be frustrating.

        My kids play on my Steam Deck so I know all too well how useful it can be lol. I’ve done many Windows reinstallations in my time.

        But have you tried to use one as a daily? Concept is great, but I wanted to erase kinoite from the face of the planet about 4 hous in.

          Other than SteamOS on my SteamDeck, no but I was considering making the switch to Kinoite.

              Probably a good idea but I hate switching distros and generally try to avoid it until I break the one I’m using and then I go all in. I have a bunch of backups so it should be fine.
