From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Steps with Bazzite:

  1. Restart the computer
  2. Not needed, 1 did it.
  3. Seriously, 1 was all it takes. If there's an update, it installs on boot

Atomic/Immutables are nice eh?

Have an update that completely breaks everything on your system? Just revert to the previous image and it’s no problem.

These immutable distros have so much potential. Especially for the tech illiterate. I really encourage anyone who hasn’t yet to give them a shot.

Of course they aren’t for everybody, as it makes it far harder to make system-level changes on the local system.
