And of course I’m installing Linux on it. Install went well, even the fingerprint sensor built in to the laptop works.

Mostly this will be a school and DND machine but always nice to have a functional laptop for whatever else I may need it for.

    SteamOS uses an immutable filesystem, and Valve curates the snapshots of the packages before pushing them to the end user. That pretty much removes the entire issue we’re talking about, and is completely different than running rolling release distros.

      It’s the same thing as postponing updates though, isn’t that right? I mean, essentially, it is. Right? You pick when you update the system. Minus the curation aspect, of course. But they don’t push updates very often, do they.

      It wasn’t the best example though, of course. 👍
