  • As someone who switched from Windows to Kinoite about 6 months ago (and now using bluebuild to create custom images), wether to use an atomic distro or not comes down to how much time do you want to spend learning everything.

    I’m a very technical person with years of experience, and I’m still figuring a lot out. You’r not only learning about the ins and outs of linux, but now your adding more complexity with an atomic distro, and even more if you decided to create your own image.

    Atomic distros are very much a work in progress and they do have issues you won’t find in non-atomic distros. Creating your image allows you to get around some issues you may run into that layering alone can’t do.

    Also, keep in mind that version upgrades (which happen every 6 months or so on Fedora based atomic distros like Bazzite), can and do sometimes break apps baked into your image until they are updated (which also happens in non-atomic distros). Flatpaks can help avoid this breakage.

    There are other distros that are gaming focused if atomic distros are not for you.




  • Ask yourself some questions about the situation, and give yourself honest answers.

    • Can I do anything about it right now?
    • Might I be able to do something about it when I’m better?
    • Could I spend some time thinking of potential temporary solutions while I wait, instead of spending that time worrying?
    • Is it happening now, or do I have time to come up with something?
    • If I think I can’t do anything about it, does worrying help the situation or make it worse?

    These are sample questions. Ask yourself about specific concerns that worry you. Sometimes, the responses will require follow-up questions. Point is to end pointless worrying and start looking at the problem logically and realistically, without the emotion clouding your thinking.
