Say a friend is looking for a new system, and said person is not particularly savvy with technology, what system would you point them toward?

    Whole lotta MacOS recommendations here, so I’m gonna say:

    Bazzite.

    … you can actually play games on it, and its an OS too!

    More technically:

    Its a Linux distro, an atomic version of Fedora, with many tweaks and pre built in utilities to make gaming work better and more easily.

    If you have no idea what that means, it means that its fairly cutting edge but also very stable version of linux, where the core OS yells at you if you try to muck with it, and highly encourages you to use the various sandboxed containers it helps you use you run all sorts of applications.

    The simple version of the above is: Just use the app store, Bazaar, and things will pretty much ‘just work’.

    You can do more intense / power user / expert type stuff if you like, and it does take a few extra steps compared to just like, straight Fedora or Debian, but, Bazzite is much, much more noob friendly and much harder to break.
