Immuteability is what enabled me to finally switch over full time. I don't think a lot of geeks yet realize how huge they are going to be for wider-spread adoption.

idk I've gotten mine into a state i couldnt fix more times than I can count. Immuteable distros have been a game changer for me and if I'm being honest I think they're going to be the biggest thing for mainstream adoption in Linux's entire history.

Sudachi is also being updated, though it's entirely minor issues and not compatibility related yet.

There will always be two types of users: people looking to connect and people looking to be entertained. Fedi is better at the former and commercial better at the latter.

Haven't used the command line since installing Kinoite, it's... weird.

Good advice, also Fedora's "atomic" distros are both bleeding edge and extremely stable!

I agree with you completely. No disrespect to Mint, but immutability is (IMO) possibly the most important advancement for Linux adoption in its entire history. I would love to see more distros release immutable versions.

People get so weird about Dansup.

If Mastodon/Fedi was at the scale those platforms are we would see more harassment, absolutely. It remains to be proven but I think federation enables a lot more eyes on content which implies harassing material can be removed more quickly.

Federation/decentralization solves a lot of problems over centralized social media, but ultimatley you can't engineer human nature.

Fedora is a solid choice. I recommend Kinoite because it's familiar to Windows users and impossible to break.

I haven't seen anyone mention lemmy-explorer yet, it's a good way to find communities too:

Exactly, not being beholden to one set of rule-deciders is not so much an "issue" as a distinct feature of the Fediverse.
