I’m biased as I’m a member for 7 months. What I experienced is the admins are very active on chat and are very helpful, even users would go out of their way to help out. A lot of the users are very passionate about the tracker.

As for the donation, nothing more than a notification once in a while.

Anything over 30GB is freeleech and double upload credit, no HnR rules. Almost everything has a special freeleech.

FearNoPeer is open for signups

And there's global free leech while signups are open

Yeah, yesterday. I just kept refreshing. FF + unlock + not signed in, seems to trigger it

Because now it can be done on the cloud with AI for triple the time, also subscriptions.

I’ve never known a such thing exists, thank you so much for sharing it. Gonna test it out this weekend.

Thank you for the detailed reply, you got me excited to spin a VM with Fedora Silver Blue and break it

Thank you, all great points and I'm gonna go with Debian and xfce as DE to keep light.

Tbh when I was thinking of the title that's what came to mind, sorry for being clickbaity haha. Immutable OS's have been on my radar for a while I just need to be a bit confident in using them before going live.

Luckily no. Only a barcode reader and a receipt printer.

I recently got a couple of POS pc’s (Point of sale) you know the ones that are all in one with a base to sit on a counter. The thing is they’re very old non branded devices, even the label says 2GB DDR2 while it’s actually 4GB DDR3.

Anyway, first thing I did was plug in my Ventoy and boot Debian 12 live, and guess what? Everything just works! Even the touchscreen works.

What distro do you recommend? Will be using them in a small shop with Odoo (browser based ERP)

Sorry if my writing is messed up, English is my second language.

EDIT: thank all for your input really appreciate it. I think I'm going to go with the majority of recommendations and use Debian 12 with xfce maybe. At least until I'm comfortable using immutable OS's.
