Bazzite is exclusively KDE, and I honestly don’t think it’s possible to run a different desktop manager on it.

Edit: Sorry, my mistake, there’s the option for GNOME as well. But I don’t think they recommend even switching between them on an install.

There’s always Bazzite’s vanilla KDE cousin, Aurora: https://getaurora.dev/ It is essentially the Fedora KDE spin with way better hardware support and QoL features.

But Bazzite isn’t really a distro in it’s own right anyway, it’s an unofficial Fedora spin that gets updates pretty much immediately (<24hrs) from upstream. It kind of “solves” a lot of the issues with most gaming distros.

I’d highly recommend both to new users as well, as they are immutable (like the Fedora Atomic Desktops) and make it a lot harder to completely mess up your install while you’re still learning.

Yeah, based off the atomic desktop versions, as it’s immutable.

You invoked the comparison by using the phrase “today’s parents are too IT ignorant”. If anything, they know more about tech than ever before.

Edit: In response to the rest. Parents just don’t want to have uncomfortable conversations with their kids, they never have. Because, no, it isn’t actually easy to block all pornographic websites reliably.

Yes. What is your point? I was commenting on the fact you thought this was a current parents problem when it’s been a problem for over 20 years now.

I don’t know what you lived through, but there was wider internet access in the late 90s and early 00s that caused widespread panic amongst the boomers when I was a kid (born early 90s). I grew up in the era of the first social networks, MySpace being the biggest early one I remember. What surprises me more is that so many millennials have grown up to be just like their parents in that regard.

The thing is, Bazzite isn’t really a distro in it’s own right, which they admit themselves. It is essentially Fedora with a bit extra on top, and it gets all the updates Fedora does at the same time. It seems like they’re trying to “solve” some of the issues with other gaming distros. As far as pre-installed software, it comes with Steam and Lutris pre-installed. Sure, there are some linux gamers out there that don’t need those, but the vast majority will use them. Apart from those, it has the graphics drivers pre-installed for your system, based off your iso choice. Everything else is installed by choice through a first-boot wizard.

Todays parents? No. The Boomer/Gen X parents of Millennials were also incredibly IT ignorant.

Right, that was the other point I meant to make. There absolutely is a way to seperate the powers that sudo grants. The sudoers file allows you to limit a user or groups permissions to only certain commands. Distros could and should absolutely take advantage of this.

Well, no, not exactly. Most accounts on desktop linux distros are admin accounts. The way I would define that is whether or not the user has sudo permissions, either by being in the sudo group or sudoers file. Some distros do ask if you want the user to be admin. And that’s pretty analagous to being admin on windows and getting a UAC prompt for an elevated process.

Yeah, I think they’re based off the fedora atomic desktops of Silverblue and Kinoite respectively which are gnome and kde based. They do angle Bluefin as more workstation oriented, for what it’s worth.

If you want a non-gaming alternative to Bazzite to recommend, there’s it’s two universal blue siblings, Aurora (general purpose desktop) and Bluefin (silverblue/workstation distro). They both have the same setup as Bazzite but without the explicitly gaming elements. https://universal-blue.org/

Are you saying to use an image to text engine just for what are text fields in applications? That sounds horribly inefficient…

That’s all really fair. But I also just assumed he was parroting what the mother had called it, and that she was just blissfully unaware that she’d mixed the memes.

Do you subscribe to !vexillology@lemmy.world at all? It’s decently big, but you’re right about missing the one from the other side.

And the bot, as an extension of it’s corporate overlords wishes, is telling a mistruth. It is lying because it was made to lie. I am specifically saying that it lacks intent and agency, it is nothing but a slave to it’s masters. That is what concerns me.

My car doesn’t talk like a human. If you want to be technical, then it’s proxying lies it was taught too.

Yeah, I tried to use similar phrasing to you in case it jailbroke it at all. Creepy af

I think you missed the forest for the trees my friend. I was simply commenting on the fact you made it sound like Apple Silicon is it’s own ISA.

For anyone else that was curious. This makes me feel sick. People are already treating AI as some unbiased font of all knowledge, training it to lie to people is surely not going to cause any issues at all (stares at HAL 9000).
