    I’ve tried arch (and preferred Endeavour), but found both needed too much attention - If you consider “operating system” a hobby, they’re perfect - the versatility is endless if you invest the time.

    Personally, I want my OS to get out of the way and let me do what I want.

    • I can see that, although TBH I almost never have to “admin” EndeavourOS. I just upgrade every once in a while.

      Most important to me is being able to find and install whatever software I want, and I have a string preference that it either be installed in my ~, or be managed by the package manager. I really dislike sideloading software globally. And Arch does this better than most. AUR is massive, and packages are trivial to write and install in the rare event something isn’t in AUR.

      I ran Arch flavors for a while, (Endeavor, Crystal, Garuda, and mostly CachyOS) and I eventually got tired of the tinkering, so I’m back on Opensuse now. Benefits of the perks of rolling release with less tinkering than Arch.

      I personally use Tumbleweed, then I use Slowroll on my media PC and my dad’s laptop.
