I kinda hope one day there is a “easy mode” Immutable distro, or perhaps atleast some kind of point-and-click GUI tools for managing something like flakes on a NixOS like system. I love the idea behind NixOS, but don’t want to learn a new programming language just to configure my system. It’ll get easier in the future I suppose. And when it does, I’ll be here for it.
Obviously Bazzite is trying to be more beginner friendly which is cool, but it’s still quite a complicated system underneath the limited GUI options.
Bazzite is very easy… I think people psych themselves out about using the terminal, it’s really not difficult. You don’t even need to use the terminal in Bazzite if you don’t want to. But you can if you want to tinker or whatever… I just find it strange for someone to be savvy enough to tinker, yet intimidated enough by the terminal to avoid it completely.
But yeah most, if not all, of the things you need to do in Bazzite is available with some sort of gui. It’s just unnecessary imo.
