The problem is not science, the problem is not tech, the problem is people, making decisions, like making Fukushima’s sea barriers 3 or 4 meters shorter than worse case scenario because money. Nuclear can be safe. People and money make it unsafe.

Is there an easy way to install in a VM?

Can’t you run timeshift from a live usb? Never tried, but i believe its possible. Obviously more time consuming and bothersome, but possible.

Two days ago my Mint system got borked by a kernel update. I booted from the grub menu with the prior kernel, and rolled back with Timeshift. Pretty painless. You don’t need Atomic/immutable distros for that sort of reliability.

I’m playing with kinoite in a VM, though.

“Generally” is the key word. I’m a linux user since slackware on diskettes. My daily driver is Mint, because lazy. I have 2 VMs with kali and kinoite.

A couple of days ago a kernel update borked my install. A problem with the Ryzen graphics driver.

For me it was trivial. Boot into the previous kernel, timeshift roll back, and back in business, but I can see how a newbie woul go into panic.

A satisfied “customer” will recommend you to a friend. A pissed off one will tell 10.

No, that’s hating the monochrome straight people flag

Well, Germans are pretty anal about standards (thankfully) and they do them right, so why not copy them?

Linux users are like vegetarians Arch users like vegans. One is a dietary choice, the other a cult.

I installed my first distro, slackware, from diskettes in the 90s, so Im not exactly a newbie. I now use Mint ( just works but you can get under the hood fine), with both a dual boot windows and a VM for when I don’t want to reboot, since I use a few programs that are windows only. The setup works fine for me. That said I’m playing with NixOS. Definitely not for the masses, but awesome.

Actually does

Depends on the person. I facilitate recovery groups, and you see a variety. some people get triggered simply by seeing a bottle, or a beer. Some have absolutely no problem
