INTERESTING!!! I ran the QNX desktop way back when they first introduced for a bit. Pretty awesome for RT stuff, but unless they get some real IP building for it outside of the Auto Industry, I don’t see a general Desktop becoming super popular.

The core version would be great for audio or video production. Possibly even networking if they can modernize the kernel.

Just install the previous version and lock it.

Anyone in these comments claiming there is a big difference between “gaming distros” and any other is flat wrong.

Any distro works. It’s about the initial experience they want without having to fuss about changes. You can switch Desktop Environment on any distro easily, none of them offer massive gaming performance differences over the others. It’s subjective. For a beginner, don’t recommend immutable. That’s pretty much it.
