That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

See the problem is that you're a normal computer user and not one of the 3% that actually like the experience that is the traditional Linux desktop.
Somehow that does not help me know what I’m missing.
My point is you're not missing a damn thing.
Basically, traditional Linux allows you to mess around every part of it and even completely break it if you weren't careful enough. This is really great and powerful for people that knows what they're doing, but for 99% of users, the ability to change the underlying operating system is not really necessary.
Thanks. That's fair, I mostly don't want to deal with that most of the time (I would if I had a spare computer)
Is that not possible while still having an ostree, or is that just because the ostrees are all basically just fedora?
Gatekeepy bullshit.
Bazzite is great, and immutable just means some things are done slightly differently, that's all.
