Saw a post without noticing the community and commented a genuine comment with good intentions.

Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

And yeah, the last comment was sarcasm.

I just don’t really understand why is there a community for shitting on Linux? Like I can get not liking it, and hating the Linux die hard fans, but it really is an amazing thing that is integral to almost all modern computing… Kind of like hating social media by having a facebook page for it.

    I just switched from Windows to Linux recently. Have gone from Zorin to Linux Mint and my friend likes Ubuntu. I would like to think that I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of articles before switching, but I’ve never heard of immutable distros. Could you please explain that term?

    Edit: Grammar.

      Yes, the short version is that immutability means that the filesystem (except for your home folder) is read-only and updated all at once.

      This makes it so that updates never break the machine, and you can roll back to previous versions of the machine all at once, seamlessly.

      For new people I always recommend fedora kinoite, but if you’re highly experienced, immutability provides little value as you can always just chroot and unbreak the system yourself.
