  • I’m not really invested in Cosmic, I’m happy with Hyprland and will continue to use it.

    I do think they did a REALLY nice job with the tiling. I don’t think you can find a more intuitive and user friendly tiling window manager. Something that’s not absolute barebones out of box and can be configured entirely with a GUI. In that regard it does bring something to the mix and is very very welcome.








  • I had a teacher who was really passionate about Ubuntu and was distributing Ubuntu 5/6 live CDs. I ended up installing it on my laptop. It was a pretty miserable experience. Everything was ugly as hell, configuring the sound card was a pain, Wi-Fi drivers had constant problems, upgrades to the new x.04/x.10 version borked the system 100℅ of the time. Pretty miserable but got the job done.

    Nowadays the experience is much, much smoother. Just ensure you don’t need exclusive software.










  • I had the opposite experience. I have been using EndeavourOS on my desktop since November, zero issues. This weekend I’ve been distro hopping on my old MacBook pro and almost every distro had a problem. Some didn’t boot, other had wifi issues, trackpad issues, keyboard volume keys not working, high CPU usage… EndeavourOS was the only one I tried that just worked out of the box with no issues



  • Since when does EndeavourOS supply a GUI package manager? They don’t even have Discover installed out of the box.

    I don’t think it’s more confusing than Arch, if you know how to maintain Arch then you’re not gonna have any trouble at all.

    I agree that their eos popup is a bit meh but you can just press the “Don’t show me again” button and be done with it

    EndeavourOS is basically Arch with an easy installer and reasonable defaults. Don’t expect it to be more than it is!
