Or arch instead of NixOS π
My gaming PC has been running EndeavourOS for about a year now. First ever time running any spin of arch and it's been a stellar expirience. You can pry this desktop from my cold dead hands, I love it.
If you get bored later on try CachyOS. An update borked my eOS install and somehow screwed up my snapshots. So rather than deal with it, I tried out Cachy (Arch base) and just never went back. It has some quirks, but I haven't had any issues for the past 6 months. And it's fast.
https://cachyos.org/
I know that there is arch based distros that are more user friendly but I was talking about clean arch and not about arch based distros.
Oh yeah sorry I didn't mean for it to sound like I was contradicting you, I just love my EndeavourOS install so much I couldn't help but chirp up! I would not recommend any arch to a new user, including EndeavourOS.
It's fine. I just said it because I thought there was a misunderstanding.
When my win 10 gaming box EOLs this fall, I'm probably going to jump it straight to arch, since it looks like the most straightforward way to build a Steam OS like system.
good luck.
If you want a steam OS just use cachy they literally have a steam deck img that is just steam OS minus the immutable bits for all realistic purposes.
Was going to be skeptical about an obscure distro, but I see they are currently #2 on Distrowatch. Can't believe I've never heard of it before.
Appreciate the recommendation, I'll def look into it!
