If you're a longtime #Windows user who might want to give #Linux a try but you don't know where to begin and are worried it will all be too overwhelming for you, then I suggest #Fedora #Onyx. You'll get a very similar desktop experience via #Budgie with a very low maintenance Linux experience under the hood. And yes, you can game with it 😎.
@vwbusguy hrmmmmm I do detest windows but.....Linux!?!?!
@heurism I initially didn't switch to #Linux because I wanted to run Linux. I initially tried it out because #Windows finally annoyed me too much. I remember the first thing I did in Linux was created folders for "My Computer" and "My Documents" just so I had some kind of familiarity. People coming from Windows today will have a much more familiar experience with #Budgie.
The thing I'm most concerned about is gaming, drivers, etc.
@heurism @SoftwareTheron Did I mention that #Fedora #Onyx is a good choice for gaming? ;-)
I'm about to go play some Steam games on my #Fedora laptop right now. 😎

How hard is it to install old NVIDIA drivers on an immutable OS?
🇳🇱
Whic immutable OS we even talking about. Closest I can think of outside of livecd based distros is nixos... but ive never heard it called that.
The one mentioned by OP fedoraproject.org/onyx/
Btw, there are so many immutable Linux Distros its crazy. Fedora has four flavors, Ubuntu has one, OpenSUSE has one too. Popular one is https://vanillaos.org/
Even the Steam Deck OS is immutable.
I like tweaking my Linux setup and I have old NVIDIA discrete card, so I don't want to fight my OS to install a driver or to make changes. But I never had the experience working on Immutable Linux OS so I can't judge yet.
