1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I am debating mint vs arch. It's been a minute since I fucked around with arch. Dunno if I want to "get into it" with arch or just do a plug'n play distro and take it from there.

    I need to gtfo before Win 11 comes crashing down on my life.

    If you like arch but want a plug'n play distro, just do a plug'n play arch-based distro. Garuda is braindead easy.

    Do you have experience with endeavouros? Curious about how it and garuda compare as I haven't tried garuda

    Inlove it 😁 it is, until now, the least tume consuming distro I tried! Lnstalling it all using yay is just soo nice (I use it with KDE right now, but I think I will get into tailing WM soon.

    Hyperland seems to look very nice, but I heard, that the Community is a bit tocic, so I think I‘ll first test Sway

    I played with Endeavor years ago, but not extensively. If memory serves, it's pretty much just preconfigured Arch with some nice theming, a Calamares installer, and a few simple scripts. Garuda adds even more theming (too much for my tastes, actually), a few GUI utilities, notifications when your system is overdue for an update, and an update script that runs common post-update tasks (like grub-install) and takes snapper snapshots automatically, so basically user-friendly bloat.

    Not tried endeavour, but Garuda is pretty slick, and the forums are read by devs very actively. And OP is right, it's as easy as could be, so easy my wife installed it without having to ask any questions until she got to the niche optional program installs. Even then there was only one thing she wasn't sure she didn't need.
