Linux: Go ahead and break the system, I don't care lol

Linux works great as long as the regular user doesn't have root rights. In my opinion if you install Linux on your family's or friends' devices, you never give the root rights, unless you want them to eventually break their system, and you will need to be an administrator for their systems.

Okay another option are immutable distros I guess, but you still can fuck them up easily (probably).

Honestly similar things can be said of windows systems, though there are some exploits that get through. Most do rely on the person launching having admin rights.

Which would cause major problems for regular users. They need to be protected from themselves.

It is one of the biggest reasons why Linux is not ready for mainstream in its current form.

Immutable Distros exist buddy

Lmao this is foolish, what about Bazzite and other immutable distributions, wouldn't they then be more ready for mainstream than windows and mac os?

Since it's impossible to modify (and therefore break) the underlying system...
