EndeavourOS is as simply installed as Ubuntu, even better, considering last time i tried, ubuntu installer gave me some weird errors few times. I think EndeavourOS is actually the best for noobs because of AUR and yay. AUR is supperior to all that PPA stuff. Not to mention the great ArchWiki. All Ubuntu has is forums, not so comprehensive. Mint has even less comprehensive answers on its forum, and they’re a lot often outdated. And not all answers from the ubuntu ones are relevant for mint. Opposing to them, what’s relevant for Arch is relevant for endeavourOS. Also, it comes in nice flavours, offered during the install process. Not to mention the “welcome” utility helping you make some initial tweaks.

how long ago have you used linux actually? And what distro you used, it had no webcam drivers? CollibriOS? The only time i had to install a driver, it was a graphic tablet one. You know, what did it take to do it? “yay -S opentabletdriver” to install it “systemctl --user enable opentabletdriver.service --now” to immediately enable it, and make it run at startup. It took more to install a proprietary one on windows.
If you actually will be going to, i could personally recommend EndeavourOS. Don’t fall for “Ubuntu is best for noobs”, it isn’t, and in my experience it lacks stability.
Also, if you’re not quite a mouse person, you could try tiling wms on your journey, like i3 or awesomewm. For me i3 is one of the major reasons to never return back. The ability to actually be able to do all you need with just a keyboard is huge for me, and something I was looking for even before switching to linux. Now floating wms and especially Windows itself seem so unhandy and irritating

there are 3 billion people playing videogames, most of them playing casual af shit like candy crush (https://explodingtopics.com/blog/number-of-gamers).
About “competitive” multiplayer games: have you tried proton? I myself was sticking with Windows untill i eventually tried it.
Linux is not a solution if you have a skill issue. The longer people have this kind of mindset you have, the longer Microsoft will pretend to be a monopolist, the longer they will behave like total shitheads towards their customers.
how was your Ubuntu experience? Because i always felt like it could break any time: all this PPAs, need to compile lots of stuff yourself and the release model in general haven’t quite worked for me.
I could recommend you to try EndeavourOS if you had somewhat similar problems. It works like a charm, since its an Arch derivative but without Manjaro’s problems, which means it has rolling release model, so you always get the latest version pacages, and it has AUR support, which means you won’t ever need to clone and compile anything from github, as there’s 99% chance it already has its AUR, so all it takes is to type “yay -S *package name*”. Not to mention the comprehensive ArchWiki. It also has an i3 flavor. I fucking love i3.
just wear them already
91·1 year agodunno, if we’re talking about easy anti-cheat, i’ve played insurgency: sandstorm, war thunder and hunt: showdown. Not a lot of games, but none of them had any issues
well, thanks to Gaben, new games working fine

It’s okay if you said “no homo”
1·2 years agoCan you give us at least an approximate date of release?
As far as I’ve heard, manjaro is notorious for its AUR “support” so no wonders. For me on my EndeavourOS setup its as easy as running “yay -S *package name*” to install one or just “yay” to update everything and then everything just works.
