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!

      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.

      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

          Depends on the distro, something like EOS is basically Arch with fancy pants on.

      But I was told by the fanboys that Arch never breaks. Could they have lied to me?

          But some packages did

          So Arch broke for you.

              When a package is not working as it was intended, the distribution is said to be broken, at least for that package. This is the Debian definition.

              The arch definition is “my bad, jk, it’s not arch’s fault lmao”

            I like the aggression on “fanboying Arch,” while there’s you cherry picking stuff when they’re literally mentioning git packages.

              He said “some of them”, meaning not all packages that broke were -git.

                I know, but did you ever ask what those packages are? Are they dependencies? Are the packages that broke came from Arch User Repository? Somehow, you immediately ruled out PEBKAC? I don’t know, you’re a Linux user, this stuff is pretty basic no? I don’t get the anti-fanboyism.
