I've suspected this was a thing for a while now but it's nice to see someone naming names. Many subs ban MAGA/hateful content, so a workaround they use is sharing it "innocently" by someone who's "confused as to what the controversy is". A big one is right wings memes being posted in /r/peterexplainsthejoke with the user feigning ignorance as to their meaning. OOTL is another.

HA. At least your account died for a good cause?

Oh interesting I read "atomic" and assumed it meant small. As in small updates to an immutable system.

Anyone here who still has a reddit account should hop in that thread and link to the Lemmy version!

It's actually slightly less risk especially for someone's PC you won't be around 100% of the time to help fix. Immutable just means the system files can't be edited.

The "atomic" part means it gets frequent (daily, if desired) updates but you can change in the settings to only check monthly so it doesn't feel crazy.

You'll have to ask Gary Mitchell!

It has a chatbot powered by a large language model. Not sure that qualifies as "AI".

Right, and I'm saying Zorin is perfect for them. Zorin exists in a weird space where it's great for the type of person who would never really consider installing Linux in the first place.

No it's a great recommendation.

Yes Bazzite is great I tried it out recently and loved it.

I didn't say "average person" and end the sentence. I said the average person installing linux. The type of person who installs Linux in the first place is already extremely far from average.

I would consider act of installing Linux itself to be "tinkering".
