Hello, I’ve been using manjaro xfce for a few months now and I’m starting to wonder if I would enjoy any other distros more, I’m not really a technical person but I really do enjoy linux so i’m willing to learn new things.
I’m looking for a distro that is minimal while not being too complex, (Manjaro keeps breaking itself for a laugth)
Please leave distro recommendations in the comments below I will be sure to play with them in live boot or in a Vm.
Thank you and have a good day, Sebo
#Update: I tryed openSUSE Tumbleweed, EndevourOS and Arch and so far I’m enjoying arch the most (I installed it with help of the wiki and a youtube guide)
I went from Manjaro to Arch. Installed by command line (took a few tries to get it done… ) I tried their installer but it wasn’t very good. Have also run Endeavour on a second pc for a while but I prefer pure Arch.
You don’t need to do the manual install, there is script withing the installation iso that makes it much easier, just run archinstall
Yes i know, i tried it about two times, but found it extremely poor, was easier to install it by ‘hand’
Is there any noticeable difference between endeavourOS and arch after install¿? From what I have heard and in my limited time using arch or endeavourOS, post install, things seem more or less the same.
The Arch install is much lighter, Endeavour like many other linuxes, installs programs that you may or may not require. I prefer adding programd when I require them
Doesn’t endeavourOS give an option to select(or unselect) packages which are to be installed
Not that I remember
this may not be what you have in mind when you said no but this does offer some level of customization of the install. Yes arch is much more configurable during install though
