I realize I sound AI AF.

Welcome to the world of Linux. Check out Fedora Kinoite. Here’s how they’re similar:
✅ It’s immutable – core OS files are read only. Just like the SteamDeck, this is more stable and secure. Updates happen all at once and the entire system can be rolled back to a working configuration (“snapshot”) if it all goes south.
✅ Applications are containerized and installed via a software store. Flatpak via Flathub is my personal preference, here.
✅ It uses the KDE Plasma desktop environment. In Linux there are a handful of DEs to choose from. The SD uses KDE and so does Kinoite. This is probably where you’ll see most similarities (that Windows '95 feel).
✅ Fedora’s community, like the SD, is large. Got a problem? There’s probably someone on the forums who had the same issue and can provide a solution.
I’ve been running it exclusively for two years now. As a self proclaimed distro-hopper, that’s really remarkable.
I can only speak to my own personal experience: Fedora and Suse are doing the best, especially with immutable distributions.
ChristopherAto politics @lemmy.world•Democratic governor Hochul says she’s not ready to back Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor yet — slamming his plan to tax the richEnglish24·6 days agoHochul’s wait-and-see approach on Mamdani came after the Queens assemblyman bested former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s Democratic mayoral primary – sending shockwaves across the nation and prompting soul-searching among moderate members of the party over its leftward drift.
No soul found here, apparently.
How’d it work out?
I mean in terms of hijacking DNS. Might be worth a look.
It runs quite well; Docker’s not a full fledged virtual machine so much as a virtualization layer. I also love the portability of running this in Docker. I rsync a backup of this and the Appdata folder every night. When or if this server fails, I can be up and running again in minutes on another machine.
Is your ISP interfering?

Feel free to just delete the wg-easy service.
Very well could be!
Lineage sounds a lot like “Linux.” Take it easy on the lad.
I think a lot of it is anxiety; being replaced by AI, the continued enshitification of the services I loved, and the ever present notion that AI is, “the answer.” After a while, it gets old and that anxiety mixes in with annoyance – a perfect cocktail of animosity.
And AI stole em dashes from me, but that’s a me-problem.
Yeah. My TPM would trip every time Linux updated my hardware firmware… which was fairly common.
Boy howdy, you best keep that BitLocker key handy, though.
Back when I dual booted, I had the most success keeping Windows on a separate drive completely. After making the Linux drive the primary boot device, GRUB would pick it up and I’d be off to the races. I now just keep a Windows VM – it’s been much easier to deal with.
As a Red Wings fan, these last nine or so years have really sucked.
ChristopherAto Linux@programming.dev•How do you, or do you vet if a software will paywall features or "enshittify"?English1·5 months agoThat might work for a while, but running out of date software seems like a bad idea.
Nice. I’ll check those out.
