Arch Linux, gnome/KDE for desktop. Wiki is extensive, packages and updates are cutting edge .
There is endeavour os (arch based) which I hear is good
I don't think someone new to Linux should go with Arch right off the bat. It isn't as hard as everyone makes it sound, but it also isn't as easy or seamless for new Linux users.
Endeavour is noob friendly
No its not. It's Arch with a fancy installer. You still have to keep up with Arch news and fix package breakages yourself. There's really no difference between Arch installed via
archinstalland EndeavourOS.Is this coming from a non arch user? Ive never had to "keep up with arch news" in order to use the distro. And does Debian or whatever flavor of distro fix broken packages for you?
Lmao, yes I am an Arch user. Literally all Arch users will tell you to check the Arch news for package breakages or adjustments. Just the other day I had to choose between dbus-broker-unit and dbus-daemon-unit, and a few weeks back I had to fix an update issue with openjdk. Both of these were listed on the Arch news site.
A new Linux user will not know what to do in these situations, much less know what dbus-broker-unit and dbus-daemon-unit is.
It's pretty polished. I have the sway community edition on my touchscreen thinkpad. Note I say touch screen, as it seems to be the best touch screen experience I could find for that laptop, which I think kinda emphasizes the level of polish.
I use sway too, great theme-able wm
Yeah no. Don't suggest advanced distros for beginners.
Endeavour isn't an advanced distro.
