Recently, I switched from Windows to Linux, tried many distros, and ended up with the Ubuntu rolling-release. Things went well for some days, but I started facing some issues like printer issues, gaming performance issues, and overall Ubuntu performance issues. So, I switched to where it all started, which is Windows 10. Now I’m on Windows, but the likeness and pleasure of using Linux are still with me.
So, what I wanted was a faster, rolling-release, easy-to-use distro with easy installation of Nvidia proprietary drivers.
What I have now planned is Fedora, because I like it. The issue with Fedora is that I can easily install the Nvidia driver, unlike Ubuntu. Can I search for the driver in the store or something else?
Or anything better than a fedora.
Graphics card: GT 730. I quit gaming, so gaming was not an issue anymore.
I can understand your point of view, and I’ll admit "the antithesis of easy is an over-exaggeration. I’d like to argue against the isldea of arch being too similar to other rolling releases, or semi-rolling like fedora. Though you’re right, they can all be road wanderers at times
As for the things out of our control like grub and the kernal screen bug, they didn’t hit fedora, tumbleweed, or many other semi-rolling or rolling releases. This is, of course, due to the fact that arch is here to find these problems first. Also, the others don’t have as many manual interventions like the repo migration, or the package migrations that happen a few times yearly. This is entirely within the control of arch, though I do like how it’s handled
That last one is a philosophical idea which I agree with, don’t mess with what could be configured for a reason, but if you don’t follow the mailing list you may find your system breaking more often than the others.
Though arch is fantastic, and no matter what I try out I seem to always find my way back to it, It is a uniquely challanging toddler to babysit
That Arch basically tanks a lot of those problems so that other rolling distros don’t deal with them is something that i hadn’t considered till now, tho you are right there.
Yeah, I’ve tried going to Tumbleweed or other distros, and I just keep coming back to my XFCE + Arch combo. Dunno, it just speaks to me ig.
