EndeavorOS, arch based, gui installer up and running just as fast as a linux mint, but simply better

simply better

for you yes, I reallly don't like the linux community's mentality of hurr durr mine betterrr. To each their own.

[–] kameecoding 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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-launcher not being on the official repository. My bad.

Simply better

  • In your opinion
  • For your use case

OBJECTIVELY

Arch, Arch based, GUI installer, installs even faster than EndeavorOS

[–] kameecoding -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

it's not

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's not what

Arch based? GUI installer? installs even faster than EndeavorOS?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Tried it, and it didnt work properly. Manjaro works like a charm tho

[–] kameecoding 9 points 11 months ago (3 children)

manjaro works, until it doesn't

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wich would still be better

[–] kameecoding 1 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Manjaro has broken AUR support multiple times on purpose. No thanks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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.
