I guess the best distro for gamers is https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite

I’m no gamer but if I were, I’d go with that. Thus could be helpful as well https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/

You said arch is not for beginners, OP is asking for a distro to learn. I asked why atomic is not for beginners, not for someone to learn. Op also didn’t say what she wants to learn about linux. Maybe she is no software dev and doesn’t want to learn how to package software. But even then, distrobox is only a few clicks away. Learning how to tweak the system before learning about firewall and other stuff is beyond beginner level in my opinion.

Why wouldn’t an atomic distro not be for beginners?

There’s no reason why a beginner wouldn’t be able to use one. Maybe i’s overwhelming for a power user that doesn’t know linux well but for a beginner who doesn’t use too much functionality it’s perfect. You just use flatpak which you should also do on non atomic distros.

Did you test windows in a VM?

Did you test wine?

You could also just buy an external camera if that’s the problem?

I understand the disliking of windows because of privacy but you use it for work. Windows is not really going to spy on much.

GNU is not Unix

Turn off internet

There’s no big difference between ubuntu, mint or debian. I am not sure why people try to sell it to you.

Look up if fedora silverblue supports your stylus. Create a live image and test it. If it works, install it. If not fedora, then opensuse aeon.

Via cli?

I have never seen a paid consumer distro.

Not on my machine

She’s exaggerating

Powershell uses ctrl c

towards universal copy paste keyboard shortcuts

What else does this say?

Oh :/

Luckily there’s programming.dev which I hope will be the go to lemmy for programming

Did you already look into sherpatts?

Edit: sorry, wrong sublemmy. But it uses kaldi

That’s a nice graphic. I’d love to see something comparing it to a rolling release or fedora.

Unfortunately, it wouldn’t tell you anything because you’d compare apples with oranges.

But since opensuse has a (multiple) stable and rolling release, how would it look there? More like the testing release?

You’ll only know if you do it. If you stick to it, improve it and evaluate it every now and then

I don’t judge you for the choice. It’s an honest question since you take care of a lot of computers and with ublue you have good control over the machines
