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

    I recently hopped to XeroLinux (page). Arch based, KDE already “riced”, it has a greeting app that lets you update with literally 1 mouse click, a number (1-4) and the enter key. It’s really nice looking, it’s fast and it’s ready to use. The only thing I added for it to be perfect was bauh app center, to manage flatpaks, packages and appimages (even sanps if you want to).

      I honestly don’t see a reason to recommend a distro like this to a user who wants everything to conveniently just work.

      If I want Arch, I install Arch. The main pro of it is the extreme configurability of “building your own OS”. What are reasons to use a distro like Xero, Endeavour, Garuda, and so on? They all just provide a cool KDE theme and pretty much not much more outside of that. Everything recreatable by installing one theme, they even tell you how to…

      Arch might be fine, but not for this use case.

        Exactly 3° point of the requirements. Arch “the arch way” needs a lot of tinkering. But that’s just me. You might be right, maybe we should just encourage people to use debian, arch and Gentoo.
