First time visiting the channel and enjoyed the video :) The dongle-on-the-glasses could have made it a bit more weird but hey, we love weird :D I'd be curious on your take on immutable desktops, and the overall packaging model for desktop linux (immutable + containers seem to be hand in hand). Are flatpaks/snaps a good format for a developer? Are traditional package maintainers "relieved" of that work? Cheers
Could you briefly offer your personal opinion as to why RHEL has not been widely adopted by corporations for their company desktops? It’s supposedly official/professional with paid incident support, which should offer assurance to management. I’m an outsider looking in so if this is a silly question, that’s why.
I love your takes and what you are doing with this channel. (I also love your glasses). To be fair, if you are able to play with Apache and MySql, you can deal with SELinux. You are talking about already tech-savvy people there, not about the average users. Fedora I would argue is very welcoming for new users. And Gnome, I would also argue, is very well-designed for ease of use. You just need to learn about the hot corner, the super key and the touchpad gesture to get going. Not a high bar to clear. Also, Fedora integration of the Gnome and the base system is unparalleled, and the aesthetic of Gnome is very nice. Plasma is cool, but I fear that a new user will look at the system settings and get analysis paralysis. Gnome apps are also very well-designed. They usually do one thing well, with only the options 99% of people will ever need. Yes, I'm a Fedora user myself (after much distro hoping), but I often feel that people tend to class Fedora in the "intermediate to advanced" user distros, and that has not been true for some years now.
I agree with you that GNOME is very easy to use. What I like most about it is that it gets out of the way and it's quite the minimalist desktop. As far as SELinux - yes, if you're working with Apache and MySQL, you probably can learn SELinux. However, I have found that more admins than you'd believe actually disable SELinux - which is not the way to go. And thank you for the kind words. Have a wonderful day.
Heads up in case your behind but Fedora will be offering KDE as a Alternative to Gnome with the next release. KDE will no longer be a spin but will be official. You also limit new users as though they are not tech savvy, while some may not well be. Some may be and even welcome the new challenges. You seem to want this to be geared more for the NON tech savvy instead of an overall new to Linux user. Many Gamers are going to be wanting to make the switch as well especially with the Steam Deck being Arch based. While there is some great overall information here I think you fall a little short. You seemed to be focused on those who are well actually a bit older. Most Gen Z'rs I feel are more inclined to use Linux than Boomers. The Boomers that do want to try will benefit from the information I feel its more geared for that audience which maybe the target audience and not the Younger generation.
I am running LMDE6 and it is working fine.

You are very welcome, my friend.
