Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux
Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoThis. I mained Arch for 2 years and still can’t be completely trusted with sudo. Moved to Nobara, would recommend as well. Its a bit more advanced, but you don’t have to touch the command line if you don’t want to and setup is right there step-by-step when you first boot.
I did try Bazzite first. I just couldn’t get used to living the Flatpak life. I know you can force install native packages, but at that point why wasn’t I just using Nobara, lol.

Drag tried Bazzite last year and hated it for the same reason as you. Now drag’s on Cachy and loves it. Drag did accidentally break the swap file entry in fstab and dealt with months of slow booting and freezing, but drag accepts that as drag’s own fault and fixed it. If a user is good natured about fucking their computer up with sudo, cachy is a great OS, and most users won’t even do anything complicated enough to risk breaking their computer that bad. Bazzite is for users who can’t fix it or won’t accept it when they do something stupid with sudo.

I agree. Too much handholding for me, imo. However, if I had a Steamdeck I might use it just for simplicity sake. If I wanted an immutable distro for my desktop I’d choose NixOS, tbh, but that’s on the opposite end of the complexity spectrum from Bazzite.
