[+] squid_slime@lemmy.world -6 points 2 years ago* (3 children) Arch Linux, gnome/KDE for desktop. Wiki is extensive, packages and updates are cutting edge . There is endeavour os (arch based) which I hear is good permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Molecular0079@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I don't think someone new to Linux should go with Arch right off the bat. It isn't as hard as everyone makes it sound, but it also isn't as easy or seamless for new Linux users. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] squid_slime@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) Endeavour is noob friendly permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Molecular0079@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) No its not. It's Arch with a fancy installer. You still have to keep up with Arch news and fix package breakages yourself. There's really no difference between Arch installed via archinstall and EndeavourOS. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] squid_slime@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Is this coming from a non arch user? Ive never had to "keep up with arch news" in order to use the distro. And does Debian or whatever flavor of distro fix broken packages for you? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Molecular0079@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Lmao, yes I am an Arch user. Literally all Arch users will tell you to check the Arch news for package breakages or adjustments. Just the other day I had to choose between dbus-broker-unit and dbus-daemon-unit, and a few weeks back I had to fix an update issue with openjdk. Both of these were listed on the Arch news site. A new Linux user will not know what to do in these situations, much less know what dbus-broker-unit and dbus-daemon-unit is. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Addv4@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's pretty polished. I have the sway community edition on my touchscreen thinkpad. Note I say touch screen, as it seems to be the best touch screen experience I could find for that laptop, which I think kinda emphasizes the level of polish. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] squid_slime@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago I use sway too, great theme-able wm permalink fedilink source parent [+] Adanisi@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] squid_slime@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago Endeavour isn't an advanced distro. permalink fedilink source parent
