Hey everyone, a while ago I made [this post] (https://kbin.social/m/linux/t/108370/Help-me-find-a-fitting-distro) asking for recommandations of distros. After some considerable thinking I went ahead and chose EndeavourOS (with Gnome) due to wanting an experience as close to Arch as possible but having some handholding at the installation process.

I also chose to dual boot Windows11 for some games that can't be run on Linux (looking at you Valorant). Anyway, here are the impressions of the first 2 days of daily driving EndeavourOS:

Pros:

• right of the bat I had better driver support than on W11, namely I could connect directly to WiFi, without having to plug the Ethernet in, download and install the WiFi driver and then connect to WiFi.
• very pleasant GUI installer
• fantastic look and feel, it's been a while since I've enjoyed exploring a piece of software this much
• the amount of customization: it was a blast theming everything with rose-pine
• better performance while gaming: admittedly, I don't game much besides League of Legends/CSGO, but I got much better performance on League than when I was on W11 (this is due to a strange bug on W11 that made LoL not run on the dedicated GPU no matter what I tried)

Cons:

• for now I can't consider anything as a downside as I think it's too early to make a distinction between my incompetence and the OS's limitations.

Fuck ups:

• first time when I installed EndeavourOS I didn't select grub as the bootloader, so I was like ??? when I didn't get to select the booting OS
• I can't quite select a good font-size for Firefox. It's either too small, or everything too big
• not knowing how to properly set the theme so I at some point had the same theme, but in different flavors across different apps
• I installed Bing Wallpaper extension for Gnome but I couldn't configure it to only change the lockscreen image (this was one of my favorite W11 things), if any of you could help, I'd greatly appreciate

That's it for now, I'll come back with an update after I get to fiddle around with Endeavour a bit more.
