Hello there!
After some lurking on r/Unixporn and its Discord, I’m more and more tempted to try Linux as a daily driver. While I’m by no means a pro, I’ve been using WSL at work the past year and generally I can fiddle around finding solutions when something doesn’t work.
These being said, the main requirements I would have from a distro is to be able to run League of Legends (saw that it’s pretty straight forward using Lutris) and not be insanely complex from the get-go (wouldn’t want to jump straight into something like Arch), I intend to use something like Hyprland.
So far I am split between OpenSuse Tumbleweed, NixOS, Fedora and EndeavourOS, but would gladly hear alternatives.
LE: Read (and tried to reply to) most messages. I will come back with an update once I decide my pick and see how it goes. Thanks everyone!
Manjaro considers Arch unstable, but itself stable?
Manjaro holds back packages for testing before releasing them, where Arch is just a firehose.
But then they release it and ask in the forums “We released a new update. Did we break anything for you?” instead of actually performing integration testing.
No matter how much you test, you’ll never hit every edge case.
Just let users tell you what problems they faced, put their feedback under the update page on the forum, users open the forum page for the update they’re about to install and they see all the problems people faced, it’s a very good idea.
No:
It considers the AUR, and Manjaro’s new tools unstable when they enter the unstable branch. Please read the notes.
