I'm switching from Microsucks to Linux in my last Windows machine. It's an AMD gaming rig with a super wide screen curved monitor, but I don't know if I want to create another Arch build just because I get lazy on maintenance and dealing with Pacman mirror updates, etc. Between popOS and Bazzite or something else, does anyone have any preferences in terms of lazy management? I prefer clean Gnome 2 interfaces or Hyprland, but would rather have a DE instead of compositor for this one.

I am alone in this, but I would love to see a note about what kind of a thing the seemingly endless random named things are. I was not up on the topic enough to know "Fedora Atomic Images" are a thing. (Though at an early step, that can stop. No need to define Fedora, Atomic, nor image. But enough to know programming library, Linux distro, streaming service, or program.

When you dig down for a bit, you'll even find out that Bazzite is merely the gaming flavor of "Universal Blue" and the generic desktop (without gaming stuff installed) is called Aurora.

My normie, Ford F-150 pilled, redneck brother-in-law wants Mint installed after seeing the old laptops I gave the niece and nephew.

So far I’m fairly impressed with it. I’ll stick to Debian and LMDE for my purposes, but the family computer got a new life just in time for the RAM and SSD garbage.
