Do you believe in magic in a young girl’s heart How the music can free her whenever it starts? And it’s magic if the music is groovy It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie I’ll tell you about the magic, and it’ll free your soul But it’s like tryin’ tell a stranger 'bout-a rock ‘n’ roll
it’s a mediocre media player, i don’t really use it anymore. blender, Linux, ffmpeg, gcc, llvm, V8, cpython are all far more important just to name a few
I’ve been quite happy with my Steam Deck - both as a gaming console and as a secondary computer when it’s docked, but for newer titles I picked up a Rog Zephyrus M16 (2023) last year....
Arch, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, atomic Fedora based like Bazzite, (maybe Nix, Void, Clear Linux)
should all work fine. I wouldn’t recommend any distros with an update period of over 6 months like Debian or Ubuntu LTS though. Easiest way yo get going would probably be either Fedora KDE Spin or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
I know my way around a command line. I work in IT, but when it comes to my personal fun time more often than not I’m quite lazy. I use windows a lot because just plugging in anything or installing any game and it just working is great....
If you’re just gaming and using godot, Bazzite (im not quite sure if it’s spelled like that) with KDE is probably a better choice, it’s immutable so you can’t really break the system outside of your home directory.
Arch is just as easy to install with a smaller ISO and a faster installer. Advertising EndeavourOS to inexperienced users will also lead to issues due to incompatibilities with the wiki due to dracut, the systemd firewall, and potentially systemd-boot.
People who are are not able to use or dislike a TUI install script should not be using Arch or an Arch based distro. Especially when taking into account that EndeavourOS doesn’t have a GUI package manager.
At least Manjaro has a point with it’s slower repos and pamac.
EndeavorOS is just Arch with Calamares, some welcome window bloat, and pacman hooks to have it be distinguished from Arch by neofetch; all at the cost of the install duration: the download is slower, the flashing is slower, the boot is slower, the installer is slower, even pacman is slower due to the hooks.
You can just download in ISO of Arch with Calamares instead, if you really want it (example)
EndeavorOS does not contribute anything to make the install process easier nor to the experience using it. Why it is still so popular after the reintroduction of archinstall really remains a mystery to me. I really only view it as a security risk due to the smaller team.

As a capable but lazy user, how much would switching to Arch frustrate me?
