Ohh, I'm dumb

Any immutable distro, Debian, Ubuntu, all their derivatives

Debian and Ubuntu are not immutable distributions by default, unless I am mistaken.

The two people in the background remind me of the main characters from Community, so it might be from that.

I'm no legal expert; I assume support can be either offered or completely avoided depending on the shop owner's preference. Most Linux distributions come with a "this software is free (as in freedom) and comes with no warranty or guaranteed functionality" disclaimer.

If I wanted to engage more with my clients and build more trust, I might offer some degree of troubleshooting/support for the Linux machines I sold. But I don't think I'd be under any legal obligation to offer that service just for selling the laptops.

Whether or not the computer shop offers support might affect whether or not a customer wants to shop at my store. Maybe I can sell my laptops cheaper if I don't offer support, or maybe my laptops cost a bit more because I do offer aftermarket support.

how can Linux be a moderated product to sell for desktop

It kinda depends on each individuals' use case; there's lots of different Linux distributions that are better (or worse) for specific workloads.

Any given laptop I'm staring at in a store will probably work perfectly fine as a general-use machine with Linux Mint installed. This is my go-to distro when repurposing a machine because it works great out of the box. If I were running a computer store and wanted to sell consumer laptops with Linux on them, I'd default to Mint.

If someone is looking to turn their PC into something more specialized for gaming, they can look at something like Bazzite or Batocera. These will generally require some tinkering.

If an individual or company is looking to build an office with many workstations and user accounts, they might consider Red Hat Enterprise Linux so they can benefit from official support channels if something needs troubleshooting. Many computer labs at NCSU used RHEL when I attended many years ago.

Want a stable server environment? Debian is a standard pick.

Want a barebones system with no bells and whistles (but great battery life)? Alpine oughta work.

So Linux has many options for end users to pick from, which can be seen as a good thing (more options is generally good), but also a bad thing (many end users might consider the plethora of options to be overwhelming if they've never used Linux before).

Linux (or is called unix?)

Linux (Or GNU/Linux) operating systems are a modern implementation of an old research OS that was called "Unix". Spiritual successors to Unix like Linux and BSD try to bring a lot of the design philosophies of Unix into modern OSes (I believe this is generally called the "POSIX" standard. e.g.: macOS is a POSIX compliant OS, iirc).

If I've gotten any of this information incorrect, please don't tell Richard Stallman.

I'm all for taking precautions, but it seems a bit odd for them to conclude that the weather was "too dangerous" for performers, but not "too dangerous" for hundreds of fans to congregate to see the show. Seems like they would've cancelled the show entirely if the weather seemed hazardous enough. But I'm no expert. (I have no issues with lipsyncing or pre-recording vocals either; that's just showbiz)

I saw Weird Al live about 8 years ago and a huge storm rolled in about halfway through the show. They told everyone to head home and that the show was over, and they were right to do so; the drive back home was perilous with zero visibility for long stretches due to the heavy rain.

Lots of people work on weekends.

My hand sanitizer only kills 99.99% of germs. Should it not be allowed to be called hand sanitizer because it cannot kill all of them?

I'd agree with this comparison if the ruling meant that they had to advertise their wings as "~99.9% boneless" the same way hand sanitizer labels itself as being ~99.9% effective.

They're comin'

I'm no expert on automobiles, but that truck would need to be 40+ years old to have no computers onboard. It doesn't look that old to me, though maybe he just kept it in good shape.
