I just switched from Arch to Endeavour to Fedora! My 2 cents:

• Arch is like a barebones Lego box without instructions, only a set of pictures. Sure, you get a paper telling you how to ensamble a basic OS, but what to do of it is up to you. For example, you might want a firewall there, right? or maybe a systemd timer to trim your ssd? IDK, you can guess it on your own. The pieces are there, it’s up to you to decide what to use.
• Endeavour is like that same Lego box where someone handled you the manual from another themed box. If you installed Arch on your own, and felt like you might’ve missed something, or something feels off, EndeavourOS just gives you the ensambled set for you to play with. The problem? No problem, really. It feels like a greatly configured Arch installation.
• Fedora feels like a themed box. You don’t have whole lot of bricks like that other unthemed box (AUR), but damn, everything just works and it works great. Only caveat is that non free stuff (drivers, codecs, etc) require that you input some commands (but really, every linux distro requires this still). So far, my experience is between “wow, I didn’t know you could do/have this! Must’ve missed it in the arch wiki” and “damn, there’s no easy way to install X in Fedora? I miss the AUR :(”

HEY I’M MOOING HERE! (New York style?)

My brother in Christ, installing a .deb is downloading the .deb directly, as you would when downloading discord from discord.com, and you use dpkg to install it (apt uses dpkg to install the deb file).

You saying “the deb file” is not the same as “using the official repo”, as dependencies might not have been installed by only using the .deb file.

Make sense?

What .deb file? Their page says to add a repo and use apt:

sudo apt install curl

sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install brave-browser

And how did you install brave?

More like “we’ll choose whatever is not the actual government because look at us now. Is it a Trump look a like? We’ll take it!”

Windows version is native now, I think

I’ve always thought it’s like: 0- is freezing, 10 is cold, 20 is ok, 30 is hot, 40+ is hell

What are you using to switch the GPU? Have you tried alternatives? EnvyControl for example.

Also, have you checked if you’re using ONLY Radeon-Vulkan for the AMDGPU, and not AMDVLK also?

How do you handle which GPU is used in which game? I would guess you have an AMD iGPU, and a Nvidia GPU for games, right? Maybe something along those lines got updated?

All in caps because I can’t be bothered to rewrite them correctly after copy pasting the titles from the website

I’m really looking forward to using something like rust coreutils, but only once the testing passes the gnu test suite (https://github.com/uutils/coreutils-tracking)

I’m not against them, at all. I use them extensively. I just wish I could use them for everything!

I would love to install a browser, and a password manager through flatpaks but they won’t talk with each other.

I would get an IDE like visual studio code, through flathub, but it doesn’t talk with the system software I want to develop on.

I would love to get Steam or any other games as flatpaks but having to redownload mesa and other system files just for that uses a lot of space and feels like a second OS.

So yeah, I agree with you. It’s awesome! But it has some flaws right now (that I’m sure they’re being worked on)

What about going out at night? Serious question, as I tried to fix my sleep cycle but failed because of weekends with friends staying up until late, or my kids waking me up in the middle of the night.

Well, yeah, but actually, no.

What about openSIL?

I’d tell you… if I had it!
