Interesting, thanks

I to want answers, I thought m1 had security limits to install Linux or any other os.

Arch, because it has what I want for gaming. Also its simple, lots of help in forums and community driven. Im not too big on rolling, but it’s really stable and works.

I have distro hopped a bit, used fedora, ubuntu, debian, and manjora. Stopped on arch as, I like my xfce set up with arch.

KISS - keep it stupid simple or simple stupid.

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.

Two days later…

If only there were some way to leave some sort of … what’s it called a comment maybe 🤔 idk…

/s

No, thanks.

Understood, thanks for the response.

Thanks for the detailed response. Yeah I’m reading up on distrobox.

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?
