I dont have any problem with it i simply would like to see peoples different opinions, so, this is what the system would be generally used for/what id like it to do:

  1. stay out of my way (just work), ex: i dont get any notifications i dont want from the system itself and all i need to do is type 3 letters to initiate an update

  2. requires little ram to actually use (not really needed due to hardware but simply to reduce the pcs noise as much as possible, bonus points if programs generally do the same thing on it)

  3. Doesnt require too much fiddling (endevouros never needs this generally, when installing something it usually installs everything you need for things to work, i prefer GUIs usually but if its deadsimple commands like yay its fine as well)

  4. I game and stream so both would need to be doable as easy as possible (i use obs, when it comes to games i usually do emulation and try to avoid proton)

id love to hear what yall would recommend, thanks yall in advance

    Sounds like you should try silverblue. Its out of your way and has auto updates. I think vanillaOS is basicly the same too. Immutable seems the way to go for normal users since its so reliable. As long as everything they need is available as a flatpack.

      immutable OSs are killing the desktop OS, keeping the user restricted.

        As long as the mutable options stay around I don’t see how that’s a problem. For normal users the restrictions are worth the extra reliability. It’s not a true restriction if you can just go install the unrestricted version anytime.
