Fedora Silverblue.

Or really any immutable OS; they would have to go way out of their way to even edit system files, much less break the system. I just recommend Silverblue because gnome is really hard for an inexperienced user to break.

All kindles can now be jailbroken, thanks to new jailbreak method. in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Any real benefits of jailbreaking a Kindle? I mean I know the "You free yourself from amazon!" elevator pitch, but what exactly does that mean?

I can already upload pretty much anything I want to it with Calibre. Can I add support for other ebook formats? Cooler utilities on my Scribe? Alternative ebook stores (yes I know where I am)? A user interface that isn't absolute garbage?

Just made the switch to Linux as a lifetime Windows user. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Bazzite and Chimera are "SteamOS-like" distros that are more focused on providing a game console like experience.

They're immutable operating systems, and the primary UI is Steam. Definitely usable as a desktop PC but that isn't really their target niche.
