Linux Mint for people who have better things to do with their time.
EndeavorOS, arch based, gui installer up and running just as fast as a linux mint, but simply better
for you yes, I reallly don't like the linux community's mentality of hurr durr mine betterrr. To each their own.
well no it's simply better because it keeps up to date, has better outof the box support for nvidia, and has better UX because you don't need to fuck around with PPA in order to do some simply shit like installing spotify
~~Tell me you haven't used Arch without telling me you haven't used Arch.~~
~~Funny how we've all gotten so used to forming opinions about something we haven't even touched with a ten-foot pole.~~
Edit: me stupid
I mean if you wanna argue technicalities then I have indeed never used Arch.
only AntergOs, Manjaro and EndeavorOs.
I just reread the entire thread and realized you were talking about EndeavourOS, not Mint. Seems I misread so sorry about that.
I thought I was about to encounter the usual echoes anti-archlinux...not that I would spend the effort to reply, but I was so confused thinking you called the AUR a PPA, Nvidia OOTB better on Mint, or
spotify-launchernot being on the official repository. My bad.OBJECTIVELY
Arch, Arch based, GUI installer, installs even faster than EndeavorOS
it's not
It's not what
Arch based? GUI installer? installs even faster than EndeavorOS?
Tried it, and it didnt work properly. Manjaro works like a charm tho
manjaro works, until it doesn't
That’s what “works like a charm” should mean, IMO. It works great until it fails spectacularly.
Take a typical tiger charm, designed to ward off tigers. Works great, until you encounter a tiger at close range.
That's true for everything though lol, but I get what you mean
Wich would still be better
I mean, I have no idea how didn't manage to make EndeavorOS work, but managed to make Manjaro work, so maybe it's a PEBKAC thing.
Manjaro has broken AUR support multiple times on purpose. No thanks.
Yeah, but then you have to tell people you use something that sounds like an exotic dancer's stage name. I'll stick with Endeavour.
