Hello there!

After some lurking on r/Unixporn and its Discord, I’m more and more tempted to try Linux as a daily driver. While I’m by no means a pro, I’ve been using WSL at work the past year and generally I can fiddle around finding solutions when something doesn’t work.

These being said, the main requirements I would have from a distro is to be able to run League of Legends (saw that it’s pretty straight forward using Lutris) and not be insanely complex from the get-go (wouldn’t want to jump straight into something like Arch), I intend to use something like Hyprland.

So far I am split between OpenSuse Tumbleweed, NixOS, Fedora and EndeavourOS, but would gladly hear alternatives.

LE: Read (and tried to reply to) most messages. I will come back with an update once I decide my pick and see how it goes. Thanks everyone!

    NixOS can become quite complex, so maybe stay away from it until you know more about how to manage your system ;)

    The other options you’ve mentioned here are good, but EndeavourOS is based on Arch, so that may be contradictory to what you’ve said earlier.

      From what I’ve heard, EndeavorOS is basically just Arch with an installer. So yeah, if you’re not looking to deal with Arch and what comes with it, I’d go with Fedora, OP.

      From what I understood, while Endeavour is Arch-based, it has a more forgiving installation/learning curve(?)
