Can confirm, have borked my sysyem this way

Endeavor. It’s just Arch but approachable, or Manjaro without the AUR issues

I broke my system a few times, but I know what I did. Once I tried to remove mesa and everything it’s a dependency for…not realizing it’s part of the kernel. Another time I messed up my video drivers trying to install Optimus.

Actually a lot of my breaks can be traced to Nvidia being a shitass about supporting Linux. But I need the proprietary drivers for my editing software

This will feel extremely simple for some folks, but I was having a hell of a time getting Steam games that had previously worked through Proton running. I scoured the internet for solutions after trying to install proton-ge and testing multiple versions. Eventually someone had the galaxy brain idea to suggest installing WINE. For some reason, that fixed the problem real good.

The AUR is legitimately the biggest thing keeping me on Endeavor

I’m partial to Endeavor OS personally. It’s basically just Arch without the bullshit of setting it up.
