"SO proof" distro
-
Use Bluefin or some other immutable/atomic distro.
The upside is that it's rock solid and will likely never fail in a way that cant be easily rolled back. The downside being that it's slightly more complex to administer than a traditional distro model (which probably isn't a big problem if you are going to be administering your SO's PC for the most part.)

I mean it's not perfect but what is?
I tried MX Linux for a while, it was okay. did I miss something?
-
Zorin OS is trending
-
Why? I have used btrfs for years and haven't had any issues with it, it functionally works about the same as ext4.
-
Grub-btrfs is, what broke my setup. Btrfs is, what lost my data on a external disk.
-
I never mentioned perfection.
I hope people reading this can start to recognize shilling when they see it.
-
Because ZFS exists.
-
Dude you might be paranoid....
-
I have tried most known distros but not bazzite, yet. might be the next one on my distrohop journey since everyone recommends it. hope it works better than fedora kde, it does not get along with my hardware AT ALL

I've set up Linux mint for my sister in law and didn't hear from her the whole two years she was in college. But nowadays we have immutable distros. They're fantastic for a set it and forget it kinda thing. They're solid for those who don't want things to break.
-
I mean, yes. You can't exactly snapshot a system and return it to operational order "under any circumstances" without compromise....
-
So be it. I've been using btrfs for a long time now without any real issues. No idea why everyone's dick gets so hard whenever you mention it.
-
I tried mx for 7 minutes. it installed nvidia drivers and that killed it. off to the next distro I hopped, knowing the problem could have been easy to fix. shame, it seemed interesting.
-
Most distros don't offer it as an option when installing afaik due to licensing, while btrfs is usually an option along side ext4
-
I've heard enough horror stories of BTRFS to just use ext4
-
yeah, the file system tools still suck for btrfs
-
Nah. I just wasn't born yesterday.
-
Any particular you're against it?
-
So you were born today then?
-
Why don't you try to be useful instead? Is there anything wrong with Bazzite? Are there other distros that are better suited for what OP needs?
Honestly I'm not expecting much from ya. Though, I hope you can surprise me.
