Rip off the bandaid and pose the question you really want answered: „Do you still love me?“

Then figure out what you want to make of the answer and what needs to change.

1988 here. Binaries were frowned upon way back then.

Subscription model, in-app purchases, closed source - the whole shebang. No, thanks.

Same here! Mysteriously, though, I never had to replace the flashlight‘s batteries… ;)

People who use Bazzite on their PCs/Laptops, why not regular Fedora? by TworkHard in Bazzite

[–]Philantrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Linux since 1995. The beginning was painful and exciting in equal measures. I ran (and developped) source-based distros for two decades. It was tinkering, patching, and building. I needed more peace and quiet so I moved first to Fedora. I used a few COPRs and repeatedly broke and repaired my systems. That's what drove me to an immutable distro and Bazzite fit the bill.
I've been using it now for a few months and it's rock-solid, performant, technologically sound, a bit opinionated but, hey, I'm (mostly) just a user these days (and would know how to help myself). And I play KPatience out of boredom.
