I dont have any problem with it i simply would like to see peoples different opinions, so, this is what the system would be generally used for/what id like it to do:

  1. stay out of my way (just work), ex: i dont get any notifications i dont want from the system itself and all i need to do is type 3 letters to initiate an update

  2. requires little ram to actually use (not really needed due to hardware but simply to reduce the pcs noise as much as possible, bonus points if programs generally do the same thing on it)

  3. Doesnt require too much fiddling (endevouros never needs this generally, when installing something it usually installs everything you need for things to work, i prefer GUIs usually but if its deadsimple commands like yay its fine as well)

  4. I game and stream so both would need to be doable as easy as possible (i use obs, when it comes to games i usually do emulation and try to avoid proton)

id love to hear what yall would recommend, thanks yall in advance

    Garuda Linux is probably what you want. If you need the DE to be customizable, go with KDE. If you prefer stability, choose XFCE, MATE or Cinnamon. GNOME is also available, but they’re planning to drop X11 support in favor of Wayland, which is absolutely not ready for general adoption.

    Garuda is Arch-based, most of the applications will be identical. It’s also preloaded with gaming-related utilities. Not exactly easy on memory usage, but that’s a compromise you’ll have to make (KDE uses more RAM than all other DE options).
