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 never used EndeavourOS or Manjaro, but if you're looking for something similar to Bazzite (gaming-ready, not immutable) and Arch-based I'd check out CachyOS. I've been using it for a good while now and I really like it.

I missed CachyOS in my perusing, this looks nice too! I'll have to check into it more, thanks!
