That alt text is just TOO real
Eh, I would have agreed a few years ago. But now default Ubuntu boots up basically looking like MacOS with the browser (firefox by default, not Chrome) right there in your face ready to launch. For someone truly not aware how to use a computer beyond a browser it couldn’t be much easier (except booting directly into the browser). The only thing preventing that from catching on is that those people don’t even know what an operating system is, let alone that it could be changed.
The idea of ChromeOS is simple: it’s just enough Linux to get you online. It turns a PC into something akin to a tablet, with a full-screen icon-based app launcher. The desktop is very simple and vaguely Windows-like: there’s a taskbar at the bottom, a file manager, drivers enough common hardware that most things just work out of the box, including a bunch of common GPUs, networking including Wi-Fi. In terms of apps, there’s a built-in Google Drive client, and of course the Chrome web browser.
This is more or less describing one of the many immutable distros that only run programs with flatpaks. It’s entirely feasible if someone wanted to make a distro with even less functionality, but why?
Man I am the complete opposite. I need my browser to display the Web with tons and tons of tweaks and adjustments and filters in place to make it actually readable for me. Rawdogging the Web in 2025 is wild.
Not positive but IIRC with Fedora you can change updates to weekly/monthly etc.
We’re simultaneously in a place where there are more options than ever, and yet it’s become increasingly clear there are really only 4-5 options.
yeaaaaah I can’t break it
Fedora Kinoite.
KDE Plasma (very Windows-ey) and it is “immutable” which means you can’t break it.
Someone else said Kubuntu which aesthetically will look the same and is also a good choice but if you want to start with a “just works” I recommend an immutable distro.
Wow, it (1.3mb) can fit on a single 3.5" floppy.
