If not EndeavourOS, what distro would you be using?

I’ve updated at least 5 times today and restarted at least once. This does not show up for me.

In any case, it’s a minor glitch.

323

I run Plasma default without any further adjustments or optimizations …

324

I don’t think it’s an issue with Plasma, at all, but with how you’re mounting your drives. I could be wrong, of course. In any case, it’s off-topic here, you’ve already made a thread about it.

325
326

Yeah, I’ve read that thread.

327

Sorry for offtopic and that I stepped on the tail of the sacred cow. Will never happen again …

328

I would be using calam-arch installer. I know not a distro, but as close to vanilla arch as you can get.

329

Necrobump to promote your distro? Shameless.

I love it. Hahahaha

If I weren’t on EndeavourOS, I’d probably have to go back to Slackware :wink:

334

I havent had any major bugs with Manjaro stable, lots of minor annoying ones sure, but no major ones.

335

Probably Arco Linux as main (or Archcraft because it’s pretty :heart_eyes:)

Either one coupled with either MX Linux or Ubuntu Studio.

All KDE. :wink:

336

openSUSE Tumbleweed ( Geckolinux Installer for faster Installation )

337

Most of the big distros are fine. I like things to just work once set up. Point releases with frequent security & bug fixes are good enough for me. I really don’t like app feature creep changing my work flow before I’m ready. But I also like new hardware…

New hardware needs the mainline or the -rc kernels (or patched kernels) to have graphics/touch/sound/wifi working. Even then full hardware support can take months.

So for me, bleeding edge systems need rolling release distros. The hand-me-downs can use point release distros for set and forget.

So the distros I’ve used (roughly in order)
Mint
Manjaro
MX-linux
Sparky
Arco
Garuda
EnOS

If I had to start over, I’d also look at Leap/Tumbleweed and maybe Rocky. Currently I have Mint for my desktop and EnOS for my laptop. I learn more about Linux from EnOS than from Mint at this point.

338
  1. Fedora 36
  2. Kali
  3. FreeBSD
339

Most any main Distro with KDE focused. While it’s not a distro I get mate, Cinnamon, xfce, Deepin.
I don’t understand Gnome. I love the name and icon and several of the apps. The DE is the worst I have used on a computer and I don’t understand the draw and popularity? Anyhow I have been with Endeavour for ~4months and really enjoy the whole thing. Not going any where else.

I’d have to say either:

  • Fedora - has a really nice stable base yet is always pushing the latest stuff (such as Wayland, Pipewire, etc) - I also manage tons of servers that run CentOS so anything RedHat tends to feel “right at home”.

  • Pop_OS! - I love their built in tiling window extension for Gnome, I do realize that it works on most other distros (including Arch/Endeavour) however the experience seems to work a bit better on Pop from my experience.

Your time will be well spent.
