So, few days ago I asked the thread which distro they'd recommend and one of the most recommended was debian and debian based. But I for myself(Even though the post says otherwise) now chose to use an arch based distro, because of the better supported and newer nvidia drivers as well as automatic hardware detection. So I wanted to hear some experiences of you, that you may have had in the past considering EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Manjaro and Arch itself. I personally have gone for Manjaro now, kind of hoping that it won't break on the attempt to cut themselves of the company side of Manjaro and becomming they're own non-profit.

Oddly enough, it wasn't that it felt weird to me (it did but I figured that was just the switch to Linux), it was that the immutability wouldn't let me change the login screen background, lol. After a few days googling and trying to hack it, I gave up and switched to a distro that didn't have that locked down.

After I switched I realized that Garuda felt better to me overall too, but the vibe of an OS is a hard thing to measure until you feel the difference.

    Interesting! I’ve been a longtime Linux user mostly with debian-based systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!) And it’s been interesting to me how one small thing or another will do that.

    For me it is usually Kerberos / domain authentication things that are unnecessarily tough to set up in one distro or another.
