Try each for a week. Go through the installs. Set up a thing and do a update.

Make notes! I can’t stress this enough, want to actually learn a bit make a small note on why you like what you like and why you don’t. Ease of install, ease of finding support, ease of updating, and so on.

Shrug I distro hopped a lot. Tried a bunch before I stick with arch. Even did manjaro and ubuntu.

The beauty of linux is there’s a lot of options and choices.

Reason: big distros have big communities and support is easier to get or find.

Yay! Vivaldi made it.

I was looking at a mini, someone recommended Bambu. I might just stick with my old ender 3 pro until it stops functioning.

The internet runs on linux.

(Webservers, some network equipment, monitoring servers, NAS, DNS, … lots of services can be setup and ran for free on linux. ((Companies like free)))

Thanks, I’m investigating Gentoo. It’s rolling release and custom built. Updated frequently is good and stability is good too, IMO.

Thanks for the links. I’ll read up on it.

Awesome, thanks I appreciate the response. This makes sense.

As I said, to avoid bloat, why run an os over an os? Endeavouros has its update but there’s also an arch update. I don’t need hand holding for the install and that’s one of the benefits of Endeavouros, at least that’s my understanding.

I’m already running endeavouros and thinking of going back to arch to remove the extra overlay.

Yes I understand. I like to tinker and fiddle with dials and buttons so to speak. I want to be able to make my system do whatever I tell it. Change icons, buttons, widgets, as well as being able to remove/ avoid apps that I don’t use.

Thanks for your response. I like to fiddle with things. I’m a bit of a tinkerer and like too customize various parts of my os. Basically more user space stuff. How it looks, buttons, themes, and whatnot. Also able to remove/avoid apps that I don’t use. Simple, but unique.

May I ask, why fedora for core system, but arch for distrobox?

Understood

Interesting, the coders use it at my work for easier rolling out the setup. I didn’t think about using it as a gaming pc.

Yeah, if going arch based, whya not arch itself?

Things change, the reason linux exists is from communities. I wanted to see what this community was running and get a feel from others. Also, I like experimenting and wanted to see if there’s a distro I didn’t take into account.

It looks like arch, debian, and gentoo are the main ones I’m looking at.

Each with pros and cons.

Ok thanks. Good to hear.

That’s what I thought about debian is that it’s very stable, but this causes drivers and possibly other stuff to not be updated as quickly.

Lol that’s on my current rig. It’s not bad, but I feel if that I’ll end up back on arch instead of having the endeavouros overlay.

Thanks, I’ll look into them.
