I don't generally recommend Silverblue or Bazzite to newbies, as there's generally much less documentation and help if they run into problems, and if they ever need an app that isn't flatpak'ed, it'd be very daunting and offputting for them to then figure out Distrobox or Toolbox to install it. Fine for more experienced folk, but at least until they become the default, I personally think it best to stick with regular Fedora or Mint, depending on the hardware requirements.

    YouTube is full of Bazzite tutorials. Whatever is out there at documentation is also quite recent. When people ask ChatGPT about how to do something on Ubuntu or Mint, the answers are generated from 15 years old forum posts. Often not only unusable but also damaging. My expectationnis that for immutable distributions LLM answers in 15 years will not break the OS. At worst it'll recommend some tool deleted from Flathub and it'll merely not work instead of breaking everything.
