I’m one of those morons that really hates himself so is running systems that are highly optimized (hardened, custom kernels, no systemd) and all I can say, yes, mint cheff’s kiss
Exactly. I used to play with installing different Linux distros all the time, just to see what was available. And when you use Linux Mint, your computer just fucking works. You install the damn thing, and then you just use it, and use it, and use it until the fucking wheels fall off.
I don’t know much about atomic releases. Is that in any way similar to immutable distros such as NixOS? If so, and you ran mid in that way, it ought to be damn near impossible to break.
I’d ask them to consider their dependence on windows only apps. If they want help with installing linux I’m happy to help, but I’m not an enabler there to help perpetuate their negative dependence.
Sure, many jobs require people to use unethical, but legal tools and methods. I used to work somewhere like that - and what ever OS they had installed was irrelevant because it was their equipment, their systems and I didn’t use work stuff for personal things.
But really, are you describing someone dependent on a job or someone dependent on certain windows-exclusive applications? Are they forced to use their personal equipment for work stuff?

Yeah, its damn solid. In the same vein I am testing the atomic release of fedora, really hard to break that thing, same goes for bazzite.
Now i’m thinking … an atomic release of mint would be … wow

This. Is. About. People. Needing. Windows. Only. Software.

You can’t do this if your job depends on using such software. And there is a ton

Hardened Gentoo?
