Which devices, if I may ask? I’m curious under which circumstances I should definitely not recommend it.

Yes. I’ve been switching non-tech people to Linux for 17 years. Ubuntu used to be the go to, but it has a steep learning curve for the average user, sucks, and has gotten consistently worse. Everyone eats their shit over Mint, and Cinnamon is nice, but I’d still field a lot of complaints. Pop! OS is awesome, but still only 90% of the way there (and also people hate the name).
Bazzite is feature complete, requires zero tinkering on their end or mine, and ‘just works’ the way people expect a modern desktop OS to. I’ve converted just under a dozen people and several of my personal machines and haven’t had an issue yet. So yes, I would recommend a young, gaming focused distribution to a non-tech person. Isn’t Steam OS also young and gaming focused? And yet it’s arguable that most non-tech people start their Linux journey there. bazzite is just an improvement on Steam OS. So yeah, I like it. I don’t understand all the ire in this thread for my answer to the question. Everyone has their opinion, I have field research.

People keep saying this but I’ve not had a single solitary issue getting Bazzite working on a myriad of older and newer devices.

I didn’t realize OP’s question was ‘What desktop operating system would you recommend to Scott’s dad?’ I guess I need new glasses.

What you’re missing is that the question was what would you recommend to the average user.

Bazzite. Fedora + drivers + immutable + gaming works out of the box.

Meet the new era, same as the old era.

At the current price 25 Bitcoin would be equal to $1,593,450. At its peak a few months ago it would have been worth over $3 million. In fact it didn’t take long after 2010 for the Bitcoin prize to be worth more than the cash prize.

Oh yeah I forgot the genocide in Palestine only just started after October 7 🙄

I don’t know her personal politics as I hate all celebrities on principle alone and try to pay as little attention to them as possible, but she’s former IDF. What more do you need?

Edit: Yes I’m aware military service is compulsory, but since when is ‘just following orders’ an acceptable excuse?

Archive.org, Anna’s archive, Jan 6 footage, Epstein files, there’s plenty to back up.

Jokes on them. I will buy from the sponsor of that booing.

Oh, interesting. I hadn’t considered that.

That’s great, and you are correct. Even just a paper trail is helpful even if you resolved the issue internally. What I meant is that there’s this specific type of person who thinks that just because they’re young or x or y that they know more than they do. And that unearned confidence is a killer! I don’t mean that they’re creating tickets to document problems, I mean they are so confident that they don’t need IT that they end up turning little issues into big issues. And the whole time you’re there trying to fix the problem they caused, they’re acting like you guys are on the same page and they’re being helpful when really they’re so incredibly in the way it’s exhausting.
Like the guy who tries to fix his plumbing issue but makes it worse, then stands over the Plumber the whole time like “Yep, exactly, I knew that was the problem” “Yep, that’s what I was going to do” Except the plumber can fire that customer.

I work in IT and can guarantee this person generates a disproportionate amount of tickets.
