From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there an easier way to install Arch? I know there's Archinstall but my dumbass messed that up somehow.

Archintstall sometimes produces problems(at least I had problems with it). Make sure that you have the current iso version of arch on your stick and try again.

Well there is always Scientific Linux if arch doesn't quite cut it

So if someone starts using EndeavorOS daily, can they claim to be an arch user? Edit: I'm now wiping my laptop clean and using it as my daily driver from now on. This is probably my first experience with Plasma, and I am loving it way more than gnome so far.

Yeah, but don't tell other arch users you are using EndavorOS... jk!

Install Debian. Everything is based on it.

I often use Arch in a container, when I need a fhs distro. EndeavourOS is great for desktop use if you don't want to go through the Arch install process.

DeltaChat is an awesome messenger. It's federated, quick and simple to use. Also, I didn't realize DC was on the fediverse for so many years.

My first ever distro was EndeavourOS. I installed it when I was 13 or 14 years old because someone on reddit said it's customizable. I never felt like I need to switch to anything else.

Yeah, arch isn’t the most welcoming to new users, or so I’ve heard lol.

[–] SVcross@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is why I recommend Chrome OS /s
