New users shouldn’t be recommended to use Arch flavors.

it’s embarrassing but for me it’s thinkfan. Instead I wrote my own solution in bash.

I don’t think it would be great for a pie hole on a gigabit connection. (if you have s slow connection then it’s good ofc)However there are use cases it’s good for. Print server, smb server, kitchen radio with Pyradio, retro gaming etc

Immutable distros like Silverblue or Bazzite are the only path I see that can work for normies. However flatpak itself has to mature more, theming anomalies need to be dealt with somehow for example.

Mint is only good to ease a technically inclined person into the linux world.

You have to reboot yes, however only once. The step where you boot into your snapshot is redundant.

You are making it unnecessarily difficult for yourself. Rolling back a snapshot that you made before the intentional messing around is less effort than rebooting twice for seemingly no reason. Booting into a snapshot is not sandboxing, it’s not an added layer of security against a malicious package.

Here’s mine;

1. Also Firefox
2. Bottles
3. Geany
4. Tilix
5. Rofi

Flatseal’s job is to do that. As for the note app, that’s not great, but you can use flatseal to take away those permissions after installation.
