Say a friend is looking for a new system, and said person is not particularly savvy with technology, what system would you point them toward?

Bazzite. Fedora + drivers + immutable + gaming works out of the box.
No, it doesn’t.
I fail to see how gaming has anything to do with my retired dad.
I didn’t realize OP’s question was ‘What desktop operating system would you recommend to Scott’s dad?’ I guess I need new glasses.
I don’t get the appeal of immutability. System files are read-only for users for a reason already. Don’t modify them as root unless you know what you’re doing and you’ll be fine.
What am I missing?
(Also gaming for a 78 year old, meh.)
What you’re missing is that the question was what would you recommend to the average user.
Exactly, so there should be no reason to edit sensitive system files in either case. Great, further to my point.
Okay? I don’t understand this reaction in this context. I’m just making statements lol. Not yelling at you.
If you pick the correct hardware. Which is a crap shoot per distro, bazzite included.
People keep saying this but I’ve not had a single solitary issue getting Bazzite working on a myriad of older and newer devices.
I’ve had issues on multiple devices.
Which devices, if I may ask? I’m curious under which circumstances I should definitely not recommend it.
MSI tomahawk mags, one with a 10700, the other with a12700. Nvidia GPUs. Nothing out of the ordinary.
