Whats the matter with camping sites? Saw that too

So actually companies using RHEL! I only know of the giants like Meta leeching on CentOS, which drives me nuts.

Why not Kinoite?

Be aware that

1. The storage is insane. Chromebooks you can afford have unupgradeable 128GB max
2. The processors are often pretty bad, no GPU and all
3. The keyboards are horrible. There are so many missing keys, will be horrible on Linux.
4. The BIOS is an intense hack. Having Tianocore on modern Hardware is for sure awesome, but if it fails there is pretty much noone to help you.
5. This hardware is often bullshit. Glued together, no replacement parts, ports soldered to the mainboard. I saw a video of a repairguy ranting and sent my Acer Chromebook back.

If you get an affordable one, do it! But dont waste money on that.

Fedora Kinoite from ublue.

Windows is a pain to use. Its uncustomizable, lacks pretty much all its features after making it semi-private. Apps look horrible, theming is nonexistent for the apps I use. All the apps I use in exchange of the Windows shit are also available on Linux.

So I distrohopped, stayed with KDE all the time. Everything broke but I also didnt want “stable” outdated software, until Wayland, fractional scaling and more are fixed.

Fedora Kinoite is very up-to-date, and its OSTree model is similar to git. You have an immutable system image that you can change by layering or removing RPM software, but you should do that as little as possible.

The ublue team takes care of adding Codecs and NVIDIA drivers, so client-side layering can stay minimal. This means reproducible bugs, always. You can reset the system, you have atomic updates (either it fails or succeeds) and you can save as many versions as you want.

Updates run in the background, you get your Software through Flatpak (which is more uptodate, isolated and officially supported anyways), its pretty awesome.
