I had issues with brand new hardware. Had to use testing on debian to get proper resolution.

Be careful using a USB drive as a backup, they are for temporary storage and fail over time.

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…

Your not Linda? Do you live in <area>?

Rooting?

Ok understood. You sound awesome and don’t deserve the ire of that human.

Not to take light of the situation, but 10 pm bedtime isn’t unreasonable if you have problems waking up in the morning.

I have no context therefore I won’t judge.

Please stay safe, it’s unfortunate that humans such as your dad, sir, has children and no idea how to raise them.

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.
