  • I have a specific use case for CachyOS but I see two categories:

    1. Bazzite, not intending to use the terminal much. Also less frequent updates which ought to be very stable. Atomic.
    2. CachyOS, using the terminal and frequent updates. Rolling, and good support base.

    Both use flatpaks which will keep apps sandboxed. A lot of users don’t seem to like snaps being pushed by Ubuntu so flatpak is the big choice.


  • I’m a teacher and I make Linux work for me. Open doc formats get converted to pdf for the shitty windows 7 running the printer in the printing room, and the Android/Windows only app for communications I just run on my phone. PPTs run fine. When there was a problem with the projector, ‘IT guy’ went to my laptop, got confused (it’s Gnome), I told him not to interfere with it because it’s Linux. He proceeded to say ‘Ah, not working because it’s not windows.’ Later that day he actually came to fix the cable to the projector.








  • Even as a teacher you don’t visibly punish a child in class; you talk to them during recess in a calm sat down one to one moment. For police to turn up, that’s next level savage that will remain in that child’s memory for the rest of their life.

    Edit: I am a teacher and punishment or admonishment right in the heat of the moment destroys every bit of confidence the child has in you. Let them sleep on it and then address it reflectively with the teacher and principal with discretion.











  • The commenter said ‘soaking up benefits’, I don’t think the working class people would be looking like ‘chavs’ because many of them are going to and from work in uniform. Plus, you’re essentially equating all working class people with chavs? So walking into a Tescos, every member of staff is a chav?
