Setting up my wife's first mini-desktop PC with Fedora Silver Blue this weekend! There are some perks to being the family sysadmin (i.e., since nobody else wants to deal with the system they get a relatively stable Linux flavor on any new machine)

Her old laptop is shitting itself and on Windows 10. Hoping for a clean cut over.

    I could never go back to an immutable distro like Windows. I want to be able to uninstall critical system programs and be able to update without rebooting.

    I hear ya. I wanted the simplest, borderline unbreakable, PC for my wife. She is non-technical and I want it to feel like it "just works" so she doesn't accidentally brick it. I use arch on my main PC and agree that control over everything without jumping through too many hoops is nice. I wouldn't choose silver blue for me, but... I just want stability/to not have to manage it closely for her.
