I don’t care one bit about upgradability or customizability. After a year or two, I’m happy to throw it out and buy a new one. It’s not like upgradability is a bad thing, but it usually comes with tradeoffs to weight and power draw, and I’d rather it all be in one solid package glued together. And I don’t like customizability because I like when all the testing and polish work is put into one configuration.

Yeah, he lost me in this paragraph.

Why would you do that?

Aside from the fact there are so many package managers out there, don't you want to start with something simpler?

Couldn't he still use Linux for his personal system?

I have to ask: what's with all the obsession with immutable distro? As much as I'd like to try it myself, would you really recommend it to beginners over a more conventional distro like Mint?

No I don't, but then again, you seem to be trying to spread awareness about this thing.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, that's one way to do an elevator pitch!

Even the title says it's webkit based

Linux & Windows came from a command-line history, so things like UAC are just a GUI version of sudo (and there is (was?) a Linux equivalent if you wanted it)

Can confirm that the GUI versions of sudo (and similar privilege escalation interface) exist on Linux, at least for KDE, in the form of kdesu.

Fascinating

 

I'm really hoping that I'm getting the wrong information here.
