I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I'd like to learn. I'm not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I'm not to particular on UI, I can use whatever.
Edit: https://distrochooser.de for anyone who stumbles upon this post with the same question
Yes. Assuming they aren't terrified of the command line. It's actually quite easy. Updating everything on the system just requires you to open a terminal and type in "yay". As far as Arch goes it is one of the simpler ones.
I thought Endeavour had a GUI system update tool. Is there no GUI software catalog?
I think you can install the arch gui. I've never done it myself. By default Endeavor OS is designed to be easily administered from a simple command line.
