Please Don’t Make Me Install Linux
A guide for the reluctant, the confused, and those looking for practical solutions.
You’ve heard Linux is powerful but installation feels overwhelming. Perhaps you’ve been told to “just use the terminal” and now you’re questioning your choices. I’ve been there, and that’s exactly why this site exists.
I’m documenting what I’ve learned about Atomic Linux distributions (sometimes called immutable distributions) – the practical benefits, the real challenges, and solutions to common problems. This is Linux without unnecessary jargon or the assumption that you already know how everything works.
Who’s This For?
- Accidental Linux Users — Did your IT department deploy Fedora Silverblue? We’ll help you navigate it.
- The Linux-Curious — Heard that atomic distros are more stable and secure? Let’s explore without the frustration.
- Tech-Savvy Explorers — Want to understand the benefits of atomic updates without wading through forums? We’ve got you.
- Future-Focused Users — As traditional distros evolve toward immutability, get ahead of the curve in a practical way.
Whether you’re using Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite, openSUSE MicroOS, or any other atomic distro, this site aims to make your experience more productive and less confusing.
