So I’m looking for a new distro rec and having a hard time landing on one. I started off on PopOS for a couple of years and it was fine, but I wanted something a little different, then I switched to Bazzite and found out I love KDE and dislike immutable distros.
I primarily use my machine for gaming and secondarily for small coding projects and a lil home labbing. And based on my previous selections you can probably tell I don’t want to have to mess with a lot of settings or configurations to get coding or gaming.
I’m currently leaning towards EndeavuorOS or Garuda, but wanted to hear some other opinions.
For a little more background I checked out Manjaro and Nobara, but liked Endeavuor a bit more. My GPU and CPU are both AMD and relatively new.
Super happy with Fedora. Both KDE and Gnome spins are great. So far no stability issues. The only thing I miss from EndeavourOS is AUR, but honestly, most apps I use are available in flatpak or homebrew anyway.
Yeah pretty much all my apps have flatpaks which is nice. I haven’t messed with arch based yet so AUR will be new to me
have been happy using fedora workstation for over five years now 😊
I also keep a silverblue disk as a portable install to help debug iffy systems.
Neat. Wasn’t aware of silverblue. I’ll drop it into my Ventoy USB :)
