I am on a production system with EOS, after using Manjaro for many years, and it has been working nice so farā€¦ I just need the AUR tooā€¦ OS only broke once and since I got my /home on its own partition, a quick reinstall fixed it and 10 minutes later, I picked up, where I left. That said, I do run TUXEDO on my work laptop, mainly, to have a .deb system when needed, but I have considered moving it to EOS as well, just been too lazy.

Also, my hardware isnā€™t that newā€¦ its fairly old actually but no issues for now with that. You do need to investigate sometimes though, read through docs (arch wiki and forums are great), but I think I also only really managed to learn Linux, after moving from Kubuntu and openSUSE to Manjaro some 8 years agoā€¦

Hi and welcome to the purple team. Happy to have you here and hope you enjoy EOS!

I agree.I understand many concepts after jumping into eos.

But now I return ubuntu :melting_face:
I love the time on eos but ubuntu have better hardware compatibility

Probably Ubuntu is an easier/more comfortable place, but since hardware support is baked into the kernel, I would think that Arch would be as good or better (since itā€™s more current) with regards to that.

This is theoretically true, but Arch (or other distributions) always has a lot of weird bugs, and I couldnā€™t find any solutions on Google.

Moreover, the temperature of Ubuntu is very low on my laptop. I have tried tlp, cpu-autofreq, and nbfc-linux on other distributions, but they cannot achieve this effect.

I was busy looking for a job and couldnā€™t spend too much time here, so I finally went back to ubuntu, after all I had spent a month for distro hopping

of course,I still love the time I spent on Endeavour :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
maybe I will reinstall it if I have another device

I think that depends on a lot of variables. The user and his or her level of Linux experience, the hardware on which Arch is being installed, the video card in use, etc.

In my case, Iā€™ve had either pure Arch or EndeavourOS installed on a 12 year old MacMini, a 3 year old Samsung laptop, and a new Kamrui MiniPC. No ā€œweird bugsā€ afflicted me at all. Minor annoyances that were either quickly addressed via questions here (or the Arch forum), or a quick look at the Arch wiki or EndeavourOS wiki.

I think so.
Itā€™s my laptopā€™s fate.He can never enjoy pacman :smiling_face_with_tear:
FALL IN SNAP HELL,demon said :smiling_imp:

EndeavourOS installed on two computers here, my primary desktop which is about 4 years old and my laptop which is about 6 years old. No weird quirks. I do take care to make sure my hardware is Linux friendly even if means not buying the latest and greatest.

I think the hardest thing is communicate fluently and get the hidden mood behind sentences.
Such as,sometimes I canā€™t get laugh point in reddit meme topic.

Btw, weā€™re not trying to badger you and pressure you into moving back, just setting (in our opinions) the facts free. Enjoy Ubuntu!

Hardware, hardware, hardware! You have the right hardware and there is no problem. There are no bugs. :wink:

sorry,I canā€™t get your point :smiling_face_with_tear:
Is it a humorous joke?

No joke. What i meant was hardware makes a difference on Linux. There is lotā€™s of hardware that is problematic on Linux because it isnā€™t supported or supported well. There are lotā€™s of manufacturers who only care about supporting Microsoft Windows and just donā€™t care. Certain hardware or components or laptops will have issues. Sometimes issues can be overcome but not always.

I get it.You are right. Hardware issue is always mystrey.
