Sup anons. I want to switch to Linux in the distant future, but there is one problem, I am quite stupid. Therefore, Arch and Gentoo are not for me, + I want at least some stability. What can you say about Endeavuor? Is it a normal distribution?

>>106166873 (OP)
GNU+Gentoo is easy, and both Arch and Gentoo have incredible wikis to help you out.

It’s pretty easy to use, no real setup required. If you you play video games you’ll probably have an easier time with something like nobara or Ubuntu. The main reason to go with endevour is unironically the cool wallpapers and nothing else. Beyond that it’s more or less a normal arch based distro.

>>106166873 (OP)
manjaro

>>106166873 (OP)
arch-based distros are easy to install software on and better for gayming than anything *buntu. endeavour is good.

stop trolling

>>106167136
trolling how

>>106167156
mangina is an incompetent distro, only retarded plebbitors use it

>>106166873 (OP)
Plenty stupid people use Arch. Endeavour is just Arch plus an installer. If you want a normal distro just pick a Fedora variant.

>>106167175
wtf is a mangina

>>106166873 (OP)
if you're not tinkertranny and just a cumsumer, then just use bazzite. it's immutable, and therefore, unbreakable and stable.

>>106166873 (OP)
If you feel like you're too stupid to use Arch, then don't use it. Nothing wrong with using Mint, Ubuntu or whatever. But if you do want to use Endeavour then yeah, it's basically Arch with a gui installer, and some pre-installed programs.
>stability
All distributions are "stable" as long as you don't install random packages from a chinese website as the root user. If you are paranoid about your system breaking, I'd recommend using a btrfs filesystem along with Timeshift for snaphots. Good luck space cowboy.

Just start with mint or any of the arch based gaming distros like cachy or bazzite. After a couple of months you'll know what you want and probably have also learned enough to make a decision for yourself. This is coming from a dumb fuck (myself) I went from mint to debian and haven't had any issues I couldn't fix.
Remember to atleast try more than one different desktop environments. (KDE, Mate, Gnome etc)

>arch based gaming distros like cachy or bazzite
Bazzite is Fedora, not Arch

>>106167420
Endeavor is fine too, forgot to add.

>>106167439
Right sry I'm drunk I just meant "gaming" distros in general.

i was a windows baby my whole life and been using arch/endeavour for a few years, its not too bad once u learn to stay in your lane as a "too smart for windows, too dumb for linux" brainlet. although i only pirate movies/music, pklay vidya and use fl studio sometimes so ymmv

>>106167420
I had experience with Mint. I liked sitting on cinnamon. But the Mint distribution is quite simple. It is not for nothing that it is called a distribution "for grandmothers and office workers".
>>106167498
I am like this anon, only instead of Windows Mint.

>>106167304
Hey, can you tell me, how easy is it to get ROCm, sillytavern, comfyui etc running on that tinkertrooner OS bazzite? Is it something that Bazz from hit 2024 video game Concord could do?

>>106166873 (OP)
Endeavor doesn't have a GUI for updating or installing programs so you'll have to learn pacman.

>>106168322
The welcome application should suffice for updating the system and installing most of what you need.

>>106167175
>mangina is an incompetent distro
Only if you download 100% of your software from the AUR

>>106168758
or you like SSL certificates on the websites you visit

>>106168322
yay -S Octopi
Also, it has the welcome application installed, so you can update your mirrors there and update your system from there too.
Could you at least daydrink yourself into using one of these distros before you comment, you utter, contemptable imbecile!

>>106166873 (OP)
use omarchy instead

>>106169011
Ok retard I'm just saying you wouldn't install EndeavorOS on your grandma's computer and expect her to figure out how to install shit by herself. And that's exactly what 99% of Windows users are, grandmas who don't actually know how to use a computer, so if there's no big install button they they'll get mad and call linux shit and come here with some copypasta about tinkertrannies.

>>106169076
You're wrong.
They're X & GNOME users.

I've attached proof to my post, you don't need to slander the windows users for being grandmas (their crimes are worse) as the windows users have distinct crimes of their own.

>I am to stupid to run Arch
>What about this Arch based distro
Just set aside your ego and run Ubuntu like any new Linux user should, i know you feel like you are a "pro" computer user but your Windows experience means jack shit on another OS.

>>106166873 (OP)
>What can you say about Endeavuor? Is it a normal distribution?
It's an excellent distro

>I am quite stupid.
>I want at least some stability.
Install Linux Mint

>>106166873 (OP)
debian is awesome. not trixie tho

>>106168909
Yeah, that was the major reason for me to stop using Manjaro.

>>106166873 (OP)
eventually you'll want to switch to cachyos so you might as well install cachyos to save yourself the bother.

>>106166873 (OP)
EOS is just Arch with sane defaults, I use it and it's comfy. But you will have a lot to learn no matter which distro you choose, especially on a rolling release one like EOS/Arch

>>106168289
If you want rocm to work without wanting to shoot yourself you have pretty much two options, Ubuntu or some variation of Arch. Don't bother with anything else.

>>106169778
What went wrong with trixie?

>>106170950
It's too great and powerful.

>>106166873 (OP)
One known for being very stable is Linux Mint, also very easy to use transitioning from Windows. I've been interested in PikaOS or Bazzite for my daily use computer. Pika is debian based, Bazzite is fedora based from what I understand.

>>106166873 (OP)
>also this
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Babbies_First_Linux

I got all paranoid and techy one so dual booted my machine with mint and put tails on a USB and use mint and no one I talk to uses the Internet to communicate. So just kept on using windows. I would consider sticking something on an old laptop to extend its life I'm music producer so don't really use old laptops.

>>106166873 (OP)
Ubunutu is fool proof.

>>106166887
>uses binaries
why even use gentoo if you won't take full advantage of USE flags?

>>106171244
can always switch after the initial install. Just another option/choice.
