There's KDE Neon already. The whole point of this distribution is the atomic immutable part.

They're desperate to get bought and cash out a golden parachute.

Maybe they'll fix the sddm custom theming? It's currently broken on all immutables and doesn't allow custom themes.

“The problem with sites that extract text from movies and other content is that they reduce people’s desire to pay a fair price for content, which can lead to people not seeing the official full-length movies, causing great damage to rights holders,” the anti-piracy group explains.

There it is, the piracy myth. If your movie is good, reading things about your movie will impulse people to buy a ticket to go see your movie. If reading about your film makes people not want to go to your film, maybe your film wasn't any good to begin with. Most publishers ignore that the people who are satisfied with consuming pirated media exclusively weren't going to buy their product anyway, piracy or not. This is also a company so paranoid of piracy that you can't buy the movie anywhere currently. The international release was limited, it was delayed for months, it still isn't widely available in western streaming services. The only easily accessible version is a pirated version. No wonder this bootleg novelization was selling. If people can't access your product, it doesn't matter whether it's being pirated or not, because they can't buy it directly from you. You aren't losing money because you aren't selling anyways.

SC is a scam. Of course they're willing to break the law to keep the money they stole.

We are going to burn the planet to make a shitty chat bot.

I discretely agree. Maybe puppet or salt. There are alternatives to raw doggin a github repository.

You have two paths today. NixOS with home manager. Or some immutable and atomic, either premade like fedora atomics or by hand with something like ansible. But both guarantee a way to fix the dotfile headache.

Brain damage in general is my hypothesis. Repeated head trauma, toxic substances like drug abuse and heavy metals in general. Anything that damages brain tissue eventually disrupts the ability for rational thought in the mild end to disconnection with reality altogether in the most extreme cases of psychosis.

You've never shared your intimate personal life with anyone? Your fears and woes, and happiness and triumphs? One of the wonderful qualities of deep friendship is the ability to withstand long stretches of being apart and still shine as brigth as the last time you met. I have a couple of people right now who I haven't seen or talked to in years. But I have the utmost certainty that if I were to pick up the phone and write them "hey, can we talk?" I would get an almost immediate response, despite the timezones. And the conversation would flow as if we just talked yesterday. That, is friendship to me.

Well, there's much more to it than just installing steam. That's highly dismissive of the effort it takes, including kernel level optimizations and driver space configurations required to guarantee top performance. To suggest it is pointless is insulting to a lot of people and not constructive criticism, at all.

Bazzite is just Kinoite with gaming things out of the box. Which in turn is just Fedora with KDE Plasma but atomic and immutable. It doesn't get any more general purpose than that. Bazzite even preinstalls a lot of stuff that Fedora users have to add manually, like proprietary drivers. If you don't want a gaming centric OS, then there's also Aurora which is the workstation version. I guess my point is that, there's not an objectively best choice in Linux. Something we often tend to forget is that personal taste also plays a role. I personally used Mint for 5 years and supported the project monetarily. But my tastes changed and I think atomic and immutable is a good path for adoption, since it all works more or less the way people have come to expect smartphones to work. But, with the power and flexibility of x86-64 computing. It perfectly fits the management model of set it up once and forget about it. Specially since OP is specifically mentioning his interest on having a system focused on security. A system that is working just works, no doubts, buts or ifs, it always works and if anything happens that make it not work anymore, you just rollback to a working state immediately without fuzz, it is a pretty neat feature.
