Linux Mint is so much like Windows it was an easy transition for me.

    I use EndeavourOS. I like rolling releases. I like to use flatpaks instead of snaps because some of the snap infrastructure is closed source.

    I don’t like the complicated installation of arch but I like the ecosystem. I started having problems with manjaro so I went to Endeavour and it’s been solid a few months. No

        I agree the install process isn’t complicated. Last time I tried something messed up my networking. I could only connect to the internet if I was connected to a vpn. I don’t know what it was but manjaro and EndeavourOS never had that problem. Endeavour basically is arch so I don’t see what the point of using a harder arch.

          Eh, I don’t believe in isolation. And by that I mean, I don’t think it’s currently actually obtainable. Servers, sure, any mitigation helps, but for end-users? I doubt it offers much protection and adds a bunch of overhead. But I do like these technologies for keeping old software running. Linux tends to have a pretty poor reputation at backwords compatability, and this is a major help.
