Windows 10 is close to being dead now, with support ending this year. So why not try out Linux? Instead of getting a whole new system and having to deal with the increasing amount of AI junk and adverts in Windows 11.
Also a lot harder to wrap your head around atomic distros when your first playing with Linux. Windows > a traditional distro (even arch) is a lot more similar then making the switch to an immutable distro.
Is it? It becomes much more like the phones and tablets that people are already used to. Go to an app store and get a packaged flatpak app and you’re done.
Fair. And short of someone publishing a study I doubt we will ever know what the best entry point is. So, advocate the atomic distros, I’ll advocate the crusty old dinosaur that moves (slightly) faster then molasses. And someone else reading this thread can recommend one of the rolling distros. At the end of the day to me the importance bit is that someone is interested in Linux as a whole.
