Nah, I personally dont like its look, Ubuntu base, and slow update schedule. I think Bluefin or Aurora would be better starting distros.

Aren't a slow update schedule and a closer look to home better for newbies?

not dealing with immutability no thanks.

Better for newbies because it is harder to break.

Yeah the upside of immutable distros, but I think nix implantation of immutablity is really great but nix has a learning curve and your .nix might get messy. + many of these immutable distros don't offer many desktops.

Universal Blue and Wayblue offer most of the desktop environments available for Linux.

i wish that site showed other desktops aswell rather then apps.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

fair, but i understand the choice as that's a lot more work to do along with having to adopt some sort of arbitrary inclusion standard

l also wanted desktops as well due to it being hard finding a list of desktops that support wayland i just see gnome and kde + window managers.
