I tried it and I was very confused. I was trying to build an app from source and it was complete cluster fuck. I gave up

I don't really change many things on my system, but this is just a trend with endeavour os

I have tried manjaro, but I didn't like how slow it was and how slow its release cycle was, too.

Their ISOs are broken and don't boot. Tried every single one, changed USB flash drives, nope none of them booted. Used the same drive for another distro and it booted just fine

Thank you. I'm in the process of looking into Aurora DX. I've read their documentations and it seems to almost have everything I need. Illegal dig more into it and see. I currently am unable to access my PC. It never logs in. Lmao.
Edit: forgot to ask, is installing osprober a straightforward process on these immutable distros? I dualboot with windows

Do external devices work? Like Xbox controller, printers and stuff like that?

Debian stable? You don't have issues since it has older packages? All of your hardware works just fine?

:(
This sucks. I'm going to look into one of those immutable distros and use distrobox

I'm now debating between mint and kalpa suse. I went KDE and mint doesn't have it

I've thought about nix, but it looks like it has a somewhat steep learning curve, and I honestly don't even have the time for that :/

Damn. Lol. Ok then, will let that go

Hi all, Relatively long time Linux user (2017 to be precise), and about two 3rds of that time has been on Arch and its derivatives.

Been running Endeavour OS for at least 2.5 years now. It's a solid distro until it's not. I'd go for months without a single issue then an update comes out of nowhere and just ruins everything to either no return, or just causes me to chase after a fix for hours, and sometimes days. I'm kinda getting tired of this trend of sudden and uncalled for issues.

It's like a hammer drops on you without you seeing it. I wish they were smaller issues, no, they're always major. Most of the time I'd just reinstall, and I hate that. It's so much work for me.

I set things the way I like them and then they're ruined, and the hunt begins. I have been wanting to switch for a long time, and I honestly have even been looking into some of those immutable distros (that's how much I don't want to be fixing my system.

I'm tired, I just want to use my system to get work done). I was also told that Nobara is really good (is it? Never tried it). My only hold back — and it's probably silly to some of you— is the AUR. I love it.

It's the most convenient thing ever, and possibly the main reason why I have stuck with Arch and its kids. Everything is there.

So, what do y'all recommend? I was once told by some kind soul to use an immutable distro and setup "distrobox" on it if I wanted the AUR.

I've never tried this "distrobox" thing (I can research it, no problem). I also game here and there and would like to squeeze as much performance as I can out of my PC (all AMD, BTW, and I only play single player games).

So, I don't know what to do. I need y'all's suggestions, please. I'll aggregate all of the suggestions and go through them and (hopefully) come up with something good for my sanity. Please suggest anything you think fits my situation. I don't care, I will 100% appreciate every single suggestion and look into it.

I'm planning to take it slow on the switch, and do a lot of research before switching. Unless my system shits the bed more than now then I don't know. I currently can't upgrade my system, as I wouldn't be able to log in after the update. It just fails to log in.

I had to restore a 10 days old snapshot to be able to get back into my damn desktop. I have already copied my whole home directory into another drive I have on my PC, so if shit hits the fan, I'll at least have my data. Help a tired brother out, please <3. Thank you so much in advance.
