20 daysNever would have guessed this. Common Valve W.
Hah! I definitely didn’t mean any shade at Zorin! I used it for a while too. I ultimately moved to Fedora Kinoite and now Bazzite for the exact reasons you described, the immutability makes it even harder to break than Zorin.
It’s great we have so many good options these days.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Crystal Dock COSMIC desktop environment supportEnglish
22 daysOn one hand I think that Linux would benefit from KDE being better than windows and GNOME being better than MacOS and that we shouldn’t get distracted by new shiny toys like Cinnamon and Cosmic.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Forget the AI job apocalypse. AI’s real threat is worker control and surveillanceEnglish
25 daysThe job apocalypse is absolutely not something to forget.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What linux distribution has the best graphics card driver support?English
1 monthOut of the box support it’s going to be Bazzite or CachyOS. Both great options but I lean Bazzite because of it’s immutability.

2 monthsI said it was first I didn’t say it was standard. But being the first it definitionally can’t be “nonstandard” since it was the only one at the time!
