I hate to be a language prescriptivist, and I fully recognise that times change, language evolves. But I can't help but feel frustrated and disappointed that this term become the norm. Everyone has latched on to it, unaware of the connotation, I think. And now it's here, it feels like it'll never go away.
even if that eventually costs me a job
I mean it's kind of a 'damned both ways' situation, here. Right? Lose your job if you refuse to use it, lose your job if you end up training it how to do your job.
I’m by no means an expert on this, but I have used both Bazzite and Fedora workstation as my exclusive operating systems.
What I would say is that they’re both perfectly adequate for the tasks you described.
Personally, I’d say unless you prefer things handed to you, choose Fedora. I don’t have a problem with flatpacks, but I missed being able to easily use dnf. At the end of the day, though, there are ways around everything; you can still get what you need done on Bazzite.
In terms of kernel tweaks, etc. I barely noticed any difference in performance between the 2. Keep in mind that this was a relatively modern pc so performance wasn’t really an issue that I was looking out for.
Overall though, you’ll be fine whatever you choose. I also had to use MS office for work and it’s pretty much the one thing you can’t get working on Linux. You’ll have to explore your options for that, I ended moving back to a Mac because of Ableton live :(
pff. Even if there were a protocol, x% of the Truth population would just claim it was a conspiracy and refuse to comply.
"Bunkers? Govt. ploy to get us all into 15 minute cities" Etc.
What kind of topsy turvy, inverse universe are we living in, when environmental concerns are a dirty word?
^rhetorical question, please don’t answer.
