One girlfriend is enough, but you need more OS? :slight_smile:

I was on the fence about what was going on in the other forum. I came here to snoop around see what was up, and noticed many of the Veteran users migrating. That was it, it was all I needed to make up my mind. I had to follow the great minds.

I use EOS basically because it isā€¦ what Manjaro was when I joined. With a little less handholding.
Used to run Antergos and then pure Arch. Then decided that an Arch install with built in Nvidia and wifi drivers was a good ideaā€¦ and I stayed more or less with it up until December 2019.

Then ā€œSnapgateā€ happened and I jumped ship because of two reasons:

  1. I didnā€™t like Manjaroā€™s roadmap forward
  2. EOS appeared on the scene.

I feel like you and I have very little in common.

There are two things you never can have enough of:

  • engine displacement
  • girlfriends

:grin:

Eh. I am more impressed by people who can squeeze out more out of smaller engines, myself. :stuck_out_tongue:

Completely agreed. In my view EOS as a ā€œpurerā€ Vanilla Arch distro, provides a KDE lighter fast Plasma experience and it also allows to install some apps combinations youā€™ve always wanted to run, and had tried and always failed to run them out of the box in Manjaro since 2015ā€¦ xt7-player-mpv for instance, or Tordiniā€™s Minitube, Da Vinci Resolve. Though I still keep running both EOS and Manjaro as my everyday-official laptop distros.

Compared to Manjaro, my system starts noticeably faster, and Plasma Desktop starts faster upon login.

Please, cars & stuff just donā€™t belong in this thread. Would be better in the What I Do When Not Linux thread, or otherwise a dedicated brrrrrrrrrroooooom brrrrrrrrrroooooom thread.

Eh. Sometimes the occasion calls for a minor deviation. I could probably put together a car faster than a computer.

Still not the point.
