I’d recommend Bazzite. It’s a gaming-focused immutable distro. The base system is an image and updates are automatic; a 13-year old might already be familiar with this kind of system because it’s similar to how Chromebooks work. It comes with Steam and Lutris preinstalled. You can install additional software via flatpak.

Code written in Rust has been shown to have significantly fewer security vulnerabilities than code written in C. Distributions like Ubuntu ship a lot of security updates, so by switching to Rust-based utils, they can reduce their workload in the long run.

I’m impressed the box advertised Linux compatibility. Not common to see that on product packaging back then in the late 90s, so it was always nice when it did.

I use iTerm’s tmux integration all the time and would find it incredibly difficult to switch to another terminal emulator that doesn’t have it.
