From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Friend just hopped to Bazzite from Windows.
I was hoping the atomocity would be a great boon - you kind of can't break it right.
Well, he wanted to configure RGB lighting on his mouse but the flatpak openrgb did not work, supposedly the udev rules included in bazzite by default, are not up to date or there was some other problem.
As such we had to install openrgb the usual system-wide way, with rpm-ostree in terminal - something I was hoping he would never had to do.
I honestly don't think an immutable distro is a great way to introduce people to Linux. It's not simple to do some things that are easy in anything else. It's going to drive a lot of new users away. The things that make it unbreakable also make it difficult for noobs.
Honestly though, most actual non-techie users just need a web browser and the odd desktop office application.
For people who have never used a command line interface, and who would have no idea what to do with one anyway, you really can't much more straightforward than something like Bazzite or Bluefin.
