I am debating mint vs arch. It's been a minute since I fucked around with arch. Dunno if I want to "get into it" with arch or just do a plug'n play distro and take it from there.

I need to gtfo before Win 11 comes crashing down on my life.

Nom OP , 23 days ago

I highly suggest Mint. Fucking around in Arch is actually nice but mint is more "windows like". You should experiment with Arch once you get more comfortable with Linux in general, or you like reading documentations a lot. You can dual boot a linux setup(on maybe a 50-100GB partition?) first to check if you like it or not.

If you do plan to get mint then get Mint Debian edition(LMDE 6 "Faye"). Better to be free from any corporate influence(Canonical, IBM etc).

If you like arch but want a plug'n play distro, just do a plug'n play arch-based distro. Garuda is braindead easy.

Do you have experience with endeavouros? Curious about how it and garuda compare as I haven't tried garuda

SturgiesYrFase , 22 days ago

Not tried endeavour, but Garuda is pretty slick, and the forums are read by devs very actively. And OP is right, it's as easy as could be, so easy my wife installed it without having to ask any questions until she got to the niche optional program installs. Even then there was only one thing she wasn't sure she didn't need.

prunerye , 21 days ago

I played with Endeavor years ago, but not extensively. If memory serves, it's pretty much just preconfigured Arch with some nice theming, a Calamares installer, and a few simple scripts. Garuda adds even more theming (too much for my tastes, actually), a few GUI utilities, notifications when your system is overdue for an update, and an update script that runs common post-update tasks (like grub-install) and takes snapper snapshots automatically, so basically user-friendly bloat.

Inlove it 😁 it is, until now, the least tume consuming distro I tried! Lnstalling it all using yay is just soo nice (I use it with KDE right now, but I think I will get into tailing WM soon.

Hyperland seems to look very nice, but I heard, that the Community is a bit tocic, so I think I‘ll first test Sway

Old... 🥲

Nom OP , 23 days ago

It's only 13 years old... 👴🪦

So old it's getting a sequel!

The only thing holding me back now is inertia with compatibility to extensive software/game collection. But yeah, about to jump ship.

DmMacniel , 23 days ago

Baby steps. First FOSS Apps like Libre Office, Kate, Krita, then dual boot, then you delete the Windows partition :)

Nom OP , 23 days ago

The only thing that used to hold me back was Notepad+. Try using sites like Alternativeto.net to find and test the open source alternatives to what you use on windows first to see if they're good enough.

Nutteman , 23 days ago

What functionality does notepad plus have that you can't find elsewhere??

Nom OP , 23 days ago

I did find it, thus the past tense. I used Notepad+ like I use a browser, with lots of tabs open and having the sessions carried over to the next run of the application. Let alone the line listings on the side and it being a pretty good xml & html editor. Besides it's open source so what's not to love 🤷‍♂️

Nutteman , 23 days ago

I see. What alternative did you end up with?

Nom OP , 23 days ago

Kate. It's honestly overkill for what I do, and Xed(Mint default) has come a long way.

programmer_belch , 22 days ago

For me I thought compatibility would hold me back but I never used the windows partition in my dual boot so I ended up deleting it after a reinstall
