  • Been running endeavouros for over a year on two machines. The only time I couldn’t boot was when the Nvidia drivers decided not to work with the LTS kernel anymore. So I just started the normal kernel and changed that to the default in my boot manager. This is the only issue I’ve had with it and it’s arch based. I really don’t understand the bad reputation.

    Also the arch wiki is applicable to most distros with only slight changes.


  • I tried installing rust which required some Visual Studio compiler on a Windows machine configured to reset itself when rebooted. It decided I needed a reboot. I’m glad I didn’t have unsaved files…

    Needless to say I could not run my program on that machine. Why does it need a reboot? I don’t know. It’s just meant to be a compiler.

    Installing endeavourOS was easier than Windows because of all the ads you need to bypass and the telemetry options on Windows. The partitioning options on endeavourOS were easier too plus if necessary one can use a browser. The only difficulty there was on EndeavourOS which the Windows installer didn’t have was picking a wm.

    That was the most complicated installer I’ve seen for a Linux distro beside arch32 which doesn’t even come with archinstall.

    What makes Linux terrible in your eyes?

    Professional programmers use Linux too.

    Windows is extremely unstable compared to my Linux experience. (Unless it no longer bsods regularly) I have had two kernel panics on my Linux installation total. (For comparison the Windows laptop I used to own crashed multiple times a month)

    Also I was thinking more of individuals doing work rather than in a large environment, so that might make a difference though the little management software I’ve seen for Windows was pretty disappointing.
