I think its hitting a critical mass, that much upward growth is very encouraging to see. I was able to convince a handful of friends to switch to linux due to windows getting so bad, they liked the extremely simple approach Bazzite has. I think its better than Mint in this regard, Fedora has come such a long way.
What is bazzite doing differently compared to mint?
The immutability is the main difference. If something gets messed up, on boot you simply change to the previous image and you’re back up and running again.
I keep seeing people saying this but realistically how many new users had to do that? IMO, it’s just the fact that Bazzite has pretty much everything you need out of the box.
so it maintains several editions at once? that sounds like a space hog even though it’s useful.
Two editions, the current one and previous one, I believe
And the space hog is like a few gigabytes. I think that’s well worth it for a beginner when it means that in the worst case you can always roll back when we have like terabytes of space
fuck i gotta put all my good hard drives into my box. i cheaped out on the m3 memory and it’s biting me in the ass
It’s image based, so it’s very hard for a beginner to fuck it up, and if they do its one or two lines of commands to fix 99% of the time.
eg rpm-ostree rebase or rpm-ostree reset
