    It’s not Atomic so not newbie friendly like Steam OS.

      Honestly, I don’t find atomic to be newbie friendly. Especially when the majority of guides and how-to’s do not assume an atomic style os.

        The existing guides have not yet caught up with the paradigm shift of atomic distros.

        When I say it’s newbie friendly, it’s because the base system is read-only (only /etc and /var are writable), and updates are only applied if all transactions are successful.

        This paradigm shift requires people to install flatpak applications and command-line applications in distrobox containers.
