Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

      Something Arch or Fedora based depending on what you want to do. EndeavorOS, Garuda on the Arch side. Fedora is good too as-is, just make sure you add RPM Fusion, another package repo, because some stuff like NVIDIA drivers aren’t available. RPM also has a graphical setup option on their website.

      Basically I would take a glance at the docs for Arch and Fedora and choose based off which one I like reading better.
