I use Arch (btw.), but am hanging around here anyway. 
I have to use Windows 10 for work. Crucial, given that installing, packaging, deploying and upgrading the OS is actually my job 
But I’ve used Linux full time at home for about 18 months now, through various distros. I still distro hop from time to time, as I’ve got a handful of SSDs on my desk which I can swap in and out very easily, but I use Endeavour as my main OS.
Yes, I still have a drive with Win10 on it, just for emergencies, but I try to stick to Linux where possible, and get fidgety and frustrated now when I can’t use it 
As a developer having a Linux environment makes my life easier. All my code is backed up and my tooling is easy enough to set up. I’m never more than 20mins away from having a completely reusable (for work) system again so it’s very low risk for me to run any distro. That said, to avoid any potential complications on my desktop PC I won’t run updates during work hours.

Still at schoool, so my main laptop runs EOS. No breaks and not even snapshots

Yes, I’m using EndeavourOS as my main system, BUT after years of using any digital (non-analog) system, I have learned to make multiple backups regularly. That way, whatever happens to my main OS, I know that I have the same backup stored in different places.
Hah, I learned this the hard way. The way frequent updates pop up in Arch one is tempted to update during work hours too. I had issues with a time critical project because of an update once (I didn’t notice that one of the package being updated was mariadb).

Ironically, I learned this from Windows. In a similar situation I had a mandatory restart to apply updates enforced by company policy, and rather than wait until the time it was due to run I decided to “get it out of the way” when I went off to lunch. Completely borked my system and spent the next few hours setting everything up again.

I have been running EOS for the last two weeks on 2 laptops. One is the main workstation with a big 32in monitor attached and used for remote login to work, zoom, etc. The other is to figure things out

i use mij enos As my main system and pitty me no backups 
this runs round a year =-) is good
I am surprised at how many people run with no backups. Even if you have full confidence in your OS and/or your ability to fix problems or issues… there is no ‘fix’ to catastrophic hardware failures. I didn’t bother with backups until I had a hard drive fail and I lost some photos and videos of my deceased parents and my kids when they little - neither of which could be recovered or replaced.
I get the idea that not everyone wants/need TimeShift snapshots - since many can rebuild OS and applications from new almost as quickly (or quicker than?) restoring from a snapshot … but I’d ask everyone to make sure they are at least making a conscious decision to about backing up or not backing up at least some of your data.
Sorry if I got a little too preachy there, but I’ve suffered through this one and am just hoping to maybe help some others avoid any future heartache.

yeah, I think it’s important to get out of the “it won’t happen to me” mindset if you’ve got important data you don’t want lost. I don’t have anything that I’d be absolutely devastated if I lost (more just sorely inconvenienced) and that’s reason enough for me to have syncthing on several different devices so I won’t lose that data + having a server backup.

I know what you mean, but what I rely on mostly is redundant copies. All my data is separate from my /home - and on data drives on different systems. Timeshift is there for time-saving… but I’ve had terrible luck with backup systems! (right back to when tape drives were a thing) - quite often I had them - and couldn’t use them! (due to ageing out in some cases). Wish me luck! and good ssh’ing

Yes, when my team was taken over by another more open company, I switched over to using EndeavourOS on my work box (from Ubuntu). Of course I have to provide my own support ;-), that is where this forum shines in making this possible.
One my colleagues has recently switched over to using EndeavourOS as well.

I use EndeavourOS on my work machines and so far have had no issues other than what I have self created, and with help from the support team been able to resolve. I’m very happy with it and don’t see anything changing anytime soon. I havent needed frequent help, but I have to say when I did, they were right there, ya cant ask for more!

Good nights sometime ago about more than 10 years starts to know about the Linux in my first Distribution I see Suse and imagine the future of this systems and now see the effects in this nice distribution.
I probe and test more than 115 distributions and never see a high performance in a netbook Intel Atom N455 whith 2 GB RAM.
Use in my home and work too I be a WordPress Designer in Blogs and SEO have my own Blog speaks about Linux and have another Proyect a University of Linux.
Congratulations to all staff God Bless you.
