I just made the switch on my daily driver yesterday to Endeavor OS! Am I allowed to say I use Arch btw?
Yes. It is arch with a calamaris installer.
No forks allowed, sorry
I use SteamOS, which has a spoon full of Arch. May I say it?
Spoon not fork you say? Allowed
It's based on arch, so technically sure, but be prepared for the pedantry. Ran arch for years, switched to endeavor because it allowed for a basic sway install to rice on pretty easily without having to configure every little thing. Arch is great, but maintenance can get old after a while.
And I thought technically correct was the best kind of correct. I chose it because SteamOS is an Arch fork so I thought there would be less finagling for games.
Proton and the like should be mostly ok on most Linux distro, the main reason for arch for a lot of people is the AUR and being able to get the latest updates first. It's a bit of a double edged sword, but it rarely is an issue once you get the basics down. That being said make sure to occasionally read the arch wiki, it's often a better resource than just copy pasting forum fixes that might cause other issues or just not work. Hope you enjoy!
The Arch Wiki is easily the most helpful documentation I have used in the switch to Linux. Absolute treasure trove of useful information in an approachable form
I just switched to Garuda Dr460onized as my daily driver. Fucking love it! Am I also allowed to say I use Arch btw?
