  • I have been on Lemmy for awhile and this post has been the one to gain the most traction. Thank you, this helps even further. I scratched the surface of immutable and this further dissects it into deeper “categories”. My first thought is that, if I didn’t know about immutable distros in the first place (aside from the meaning of the term), I probably wouldn’t know what I’m missing or gaining.

    My uses for Linux will grow across 3 categories.

    1. Business and office work. Mainly spreadsheets, documents, presentations, and virtual meetings

    2. 3D Design, 3D Printing, bitmap and vector graphics editing, coding, and retro video game development

    3. Streaming via OBS, ATEM, webcam, HDMI capture, and various USB inputs and devices.

    I have tried building machines on non-tablets and have got 80% of the way there with all 3. The tablet has me 100% with 1 & 2. This all gives me a greater understanding that helps me avoid and research more into the options based on needs.




  • I hate that this post caused a fight here. I appreciate feedback and learning.

    If I’m taking something away from this exchange is that immutable distros are a thing I need to understand better. In a way you are both helping me see some other aspects I haven’t considered. If I were to go immutable there are some limits on what I can do, though there are some benefits in terms of security and app containerization. Based on some quick research immutable distros have been around but honestly I didn’t really know any details. On the other hand it sounds like Ubuntu pushes packages my way and I might want want to explore so other options.

    Thanks for the insights and I plan to do a lot more research on how I might proceed. I may have it working on one device, but adopting what is right for my workflow and needs is going to take some more effort. Best.




  • Ok this is getting to the question I had. I found a few YouTube videos that went into detail about updating the kernel. I was wondering what’s the purpose when it was working as well as it has. I’m going to try to do this and follow the guides. Initially I had to overcome a BitLocker issue and a bug where I couldn’t overwrite the partition. Once I finally got Ubuntu running I was ready to dive into making it touch compatible, but it was already there. I suspect this makes it even better
