I’m French (from Brittany, near Brest), and a new user of EndeavourOS.
I’m distro-hopping since the mid-90’s, and it’s the first time I’m using an Arch-based distro for more than a few hours (for some reasons, I’ve found Manjaro confusing).
I’ve been using Bunsenlabs and SolydX earlier this year, for examples, and have tested weird stuff such as Clear Linux*.
Distros I’ve loved include SolusOS, Debian+Budgie and Puppy Linux(es).
My first linux was Caldera, back when it came out (1997).
Otherwise, on my computer I’m a player of old-school FPS’s such as Doom & Quake, and I also love roguelikes (Nethack, Te4…) & silly hack’n’slash (Torchlight, Transcendence…).
I also like to read comics and play/create role-playing games.
I write decent English, I also know some Breton and Toki Pona.
Hi
Welcome to the forum
Solus was the distro I used before jumping on to Endeavour. Liked it in some ways, and the Solus blog is still the first pinned website on my browser new tab page.
Budgie is my favourite Desktop, but for a few reasons the version in EndeavourOS felt too “bloated” to me (too many tools from GNOME, some of them difficult to remove without crashing other stuff).
I’ve switched to good old MATE. Less sexy, but very clean and lightweight.
Budgie is best experienced with Solus. They have polished it really well. One of the best default desktops I have seen on a distro. Its elegant, and doesn’t feel bloated.
Budgie, for all practical purposes, feels like a different implementation of Gnome to me. (which it absolutely isn’t) Here’s a tip : if you want to use Budgie on a distro that isn’t Solus, then manually install the Budgie package from whichever package manager the distro comes with. It will be much lighter.
I totally agree with this. Solus has the best Budgie version. I really like the way they have it set up and i like being able to have icons on the desktop if i want.
