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.

EndeaverOS. On two systems it installed but lots of error popup windows right from desktop launch. just seemed Janky compared to plain Arch or any other popular distro.

Perhaps look at what they are saying? I daily drive Endeavour and have no problems with it

Same. Every problem I’ve had with it, I’ve caused…and have been able to fix from the live image. EndeavourOS is definitely my favorite at this time.

Oh I did. Permissions, things it couldn't find, other errorS...From default install. No thanks, no time to fix stuff that other distros had clean installs with.

Wow. Totally opposite experience.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, hardware can make a difference, so I recognize that (I have one machine that will not install any deb based distro, some notify of the bug. some ignore it and do an install but cannot boot due to hardware bug. RPM based distros acknowledge the issue amd work around it) But permission issues and missing files from default install are just not something I have time to deal with.

Yeah, it's like all the complaints of nVidia drivers, for me I've never had any issues. The linux user experience is fragmented
