    I’d assign pinkie pie to a rolling release like arch or gentoo. You can customize and get constant updates. You can also switch around the desktop environment to keep things new and interesting.

    These frequentchanges goes with her energetic personality.

    I think that works better than “this is OS can tolerate her”

      That is also true for NixOS. Since it’s declarative, the only things that break when you switch DEs are the settings the DEs themselves change when you run them

        I only tried nixos once and briefly, so I’m not that familiar with it. Is it a rolling release distro?

          There’s an unstable channel. Because of how nix works you can mix different channel packages since deps are independent (nothing is installed system wide)

      She would follow an online guide to change the emoji font, not noticing that it’s for Windows 10, not back up the registry before editing the seguiemj.ttf entry to Noto Color Emoji.ttf and thus freezing any program trying to render emoji, breaking the OS because there’s one in her username on the login screen. No, Windows 11 can’t handle her.

      Changing the default emoji font is easy and safe on Linux with fontconfig, just add the font name among aliases to sans-serif in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf (user) or /etc/fonts/local.conf (global) and you can use any emoji font you can get your hands on. Heck, even grub comes with emoji (monochrome, obviously) in its default unicode.pf2 font.
