Looking For New Distro Recommendation (lemmy.world)

So I'm looking for a new distro rec and having a hard time landing on one. I started off on PopOS for a couple of years and it was fine, but I wanted something a little different, then I switched to Bazzite and found out I love KDE and dislike immutable distros.

I primarily use my machine for gaming and secondarily for small coding projects and a lil home labbing. And based on my previous selections you can probably tell I don't want to have to mess with a lot of settings or configurations to get coding or gaming.

I'm currently leaning towards EndeavuorOS or Garuda, but wanted to hear some other opinions.

For a little more background I checked out Manjaro and Nobara, but liked Endeavuor a bit more. My GPU and CPU are both AMD and relatively new.

I've used both. Endeavor have a nice arm distro on my desktops I'm using the vanilla Garuda isos. It doesn't install everything for you out of the box. But assuming you aren't afraid of yay or pacman that isn't a problem. Both are very close to arch. But offering a bit more modern install experience. I've done lfs/Gentoo/vanilla arch. And they were fine learning experiences. But if you want a simple to install, lean weeding Edge system. Where you don't have to hope that your software is released as a flat pack in order for you to easily this version. Either one is pretty decent.
