I told myself I wasn’t gonna do it anytime soon but I distro hopped from Endeavour OS to Arch with Hyprland in the span of 3 days. Nothing against endeavour. I just tried to customize, broke some stuff and decided to try Hyprland again. I’m quite liking it. It takes awhile to get used to it but it’s fun. I cloned a repo for a customized version of it. I don’t know how long I’ll stick with it but wish me luck!
Good luck then. I spent happy years on Arch but recently hopped to Void because lately Arch packages broke to much (mainly because of my choices to be honest) and I wanted something different (not specifically no systemd)
Yeah Void is fantastic. I just switched back and I doubt I’ll be moving to anything else.
I only switched away in the first place because I had gotten so comfortable I wanted to try something new (Guix, also amazing!).
But there’s something so comfy about Void once you grok it, just lots of little good decisions which add up to a great experience.
But I was told by the fanboys that Arch never breaks. Could they have lied to me?
No. And arch never broke on me. But some packages did and lately they were just more of those. Admittedly a few were the -git version. And I just wanted something else
So Arch broke for you.
What Arch based distoe were you on? I would love to spend some time on Debian and OpenSUSE eventually. Also Fedora is intriguing, I wished I tried it already.
I’ve had experience with Debian based and Arch based distros only. I was on Majaro for months before I had to switch back to windows and leave Linux behind for awhile
I think when he said arch he meant arch and not arch based?!?
Depends on the distro, something like EOS is basically Arch with fancy pants on.
