From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fedora Silverblue or any of the other Fedora Atomic distros
Or something Universal Blue-based like Bazzite or Aurora.
I like the concept of atomic distros, but the implementation leaves a lot to be desired for me. Having to reboot after installing any software seems counterproductive to me (admittedly this was my very limited experience when I tried Bazzite).
On Fedora you can run
rpm-ostree apply-liveto apply any changes you make without rebootingLearned something new, thank you! I’m old school so it’s going to take some time to acclimate I think.
Awesome! Fedora Atomic definitely has a learning curve, but once you get used to it it's one of the best experiences I've had
Well I'm not on it anymore because it frustrated this old aging brain. I'm currently on Garuda. But I may give it a go in a VM again.
