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.

Garuda and EndeavourOS are literally the same distro with a different default KDE theme. You can go to KDE settings, themes and search sweet candy or sweet Mars or whatever it was called and install it on EOS.

Maybe Garuda has the chaotic AUR by default I don't remember but since you're still on Arch and therefore expected to rtfm you should probably just figure out how to install it on EOS instead tbh, assuming you really want/need it

I don't want to. What did I say that made you think I wanted to switch?

I said Endeavor was my first choice; Garuda would be my second choice. Basic Arch with one of the installation helpers would be my third.

I've only installed Arch from scratch once, and I won't do that again since I don't have to.

It's a thread about someone asking distro recommendation. I am using the royal you.

This seems to be a common problem with Lemmy clients. When responding, you can only see the comment to whom you're replying. It makes it really difficult to see whether they're a new person, or someone you replied to before; it discourages referencing commentators by name. It's quickly becoming my least favorite behavior of all clients.

Is there an Android client that shows you the whole thread ancestor history via scrolling? It's not even a problem to figure out a reasonable way to implement it; it's just no-one does.
