Today I talk about the most overrated Linux distros. Be prepared for some circular reasoning. 👇 PULL IT DOWN FOR THE GOOD STUFF 👇Ko-fi - https://ko-fi.com/...
I installed Elementary OS on a computer I built for a friend’s kid, because I wanted something that was easy to use and low maintenance. It was pretty good from that point of view, but eventually that release got outdated and I discovered that they don’t suppose upgrades between major versions.
That’s unfortunate indeed. Currently I gravitate towards installing something like Endless OS for either elderly people or children. Automatic atomic updates from the get go on an immutable distro based on Debian Stable; just good stuff. FWIW, it allows updates between major versions as well 😉.
Perhaps we’ll give that a try since we’re going to have to wipe his computer anyway… They live quite far away so the top prio is something that won’t require me to go there and fix the computer every now and then :)

“By default, most new installations of Endless OS 4, and systems upgraded from older versions of Endless OS, will automatically update to Endless OS 5, and beyond as further versions are released. Systems must be specifically configured to remain on Endless OS 4”
As it even does major updates automatically, it’s almost as handsfree as it gets.
