op asked about the r/linux community which was not mentioned in either of your comments

+1 for Fedora. I recommend Kinoite as it is very similar to windows and very hard to break due to it's "immutability".

Bazzite is very similar to Fedora Kinoite but made to be easy for gaming.

I'm having trouble following, you're suggesting that the Linux subreddit continues to exist because of some corporate conspiracy to keep users on commercial media platforms?

I love those machines. Diet cherry decaf vanilla etc etc etc....

Yeah you're right, "atomic" is not the same thing as "immutable", but they are related terms and OP appeared to be using them interchangeably so 🤷‍♀️

I didn't say bricking, I was responding to the bit you wrote about immutability being "a fad".

Immuteability is what enabled me to finally switch over full time. I don't think a lot of geeks yet realize how huge they are going to be for wider-spread adoption.

idk I've gotten mine into a state i couldnt fix more times than I can count. Immuteable distros have been a game changer for me and if I'm being honest I think they're going to be the biggest thing for mainstream adoption in Linux's entire history.

Fair warning that Element is not anywhere close to being as polished as Discord, but it doesn't hurt to just suggest to try it out and see what the reception is like. As others have said you probably don't push the matter too hard but it doesn't hurt to ask and lay out your reasons.

Haven't used the command line since installing Kinoite, it's... weird.

Not in New York City apparently but yes hopefully they're more affordable for smaller libraries.

Kanopy is really nice but I read that it may be getting too expensive for libraries.
