    If all you care about is stability, check my other comments about the Fedora Atomic family. Hard to be more stable than immutable with built-in rollback capabilities. That’s why I currently run Aurora DX.

      Also a lot harder to wrap your head around atomic distros when your first playing with Linux. Windows > a traditional distro (even arch) is a lot more similar then making the switch to an immutable distro.

        Is it? It becomes much more like the phones and tablets that people are already used to. Go to an app store and get a packaged flatpak app and you’re done.

          Fair. And short of someone publishing a study I doubt we will ever know what the best entry point is. So, advocate the atomic distros, I’ll advocate the crusty old dinosaur that moves (slightly) faster then molasses. And someone else reading this thread can recommend one of the rolling distros. At the end of the day to me the importance bit is that someone is interested in Linux as a whole.
