cerement, 3 days ago to linux in Arch Linux, made immutable, declarative and atomic: blendOS v4 released

• repeat the “Don’t sweat it.”
• Ubuntu is a perfectly fine starting point (the other “beginner distro” that’s commonly recommended is LinuxMint)
• »AFTER« you become comfortable with what you have:
  • try familiarizing yourself with the command line
    • far more competent than Windows cmd.exe or PowerShell
    • !linuxupskillchallenge
  • get overwhelmed with all the distro choices available
    • get bitten by the distro-hopping bug (“Gotta try them all!”)
      • and then try Distrobox (“ALL the distros at once!”)
• »THEN« take a look at immutable distros
  • “immutable distro” is a catch-all term that embraces several concepts
    • immutable – the root filesystem is set to read-only – makes it harder to mess up your system
    • declarative – your hardware and packages and configs are declared in a master configuration file
    • atomic / transactional – updates are checked as they’re applied, if it fails, it gets rolled back to a previous “safe state”
    • container / sandbox – ex. Flatpak or Docker or OCI – apps are isolated in their own sandbox and not allowed to mess up anything else
