  • You said arch is not for beginners, OP is asking for a distro to learn. I asked why atomic is not for beginners, not for someone to learn. Op also didn’t say what she wants to learn about linux. Maybe she is no software dev and doesn’t want to learn how to package software. But even then, distrobox is only a few clicks away. Learning how to tweak the system before learning about firewall and other stuff is beyond beginner level in my opinion.


  • Why wouldn’t an atomic distro not be for beginners?

    There’s no reason why a beginner wouldn’t be able to use one. Maybe i’s overwhelming for a power user that doesn’t know linux well but for a beginner who doesn’t use too much functionality it’s perfect. You just use flatpak which you should also do on non atomic distros.






  • only admins can access this information, which makes it harder for users to report such behaviour to them.

    This sounds like a user wants to become an admin

    Since everything is public anyway, for me it begs the question: why hide it in the first place?

    Some day, someone will write a tool/bot where you can enter a user/ sub and get all votes.

    Currently only the technical people can see it, in the future, people with money will see it because they pay for such a service. Or someone will open an instance where you can see it.

    I understand that there is a big dilemmy and I am glad that I am not in a position to decide upon a solution.

    Btw, can only instance admins see their votes or all voting behaviors?
