I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

    I didn’t even think of Android, I guess technically correct is the best kind of correct :D I been using it since Dount, but never did anything more fancy than rooting and running cyanogen/lineage.

    EOS? I never heard of it, is it just EndeavourOS shortened? At least it seems to make sense in context. Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question.

    Since you said you used a lot of distros, is there any you would recommend to try/stay the hell away from?

    Yep, its quite handy when your username tells everyone automatically so you don’t have to use your macro (that I assume every arch user has) to tell everyone.

      Yeah. Got hooked on cyanogenmod. It was fun specially when Xposed was introduced later on. I don’t follow the phone scene much nowadays, though.

      Yeah, it’s Endeavour OS. It’s pretty lengthy and I’m lazy so EOS it is. Lol.

      I’ve tried Puppy, various Ubuntus (can’t remember which, but mostly the lighter ones and the main distros), Debian, OpenSUSE, Pop, Fedora, Mint, most of the popular ones, etc - mainly looking for something for a daily driver on my laptop but still ended up on EOS. Most of them stayed just a few days, though, so I can’t really give you any comprehensive answers. Although I’ve had trouble with OpenSUSE the most iirc. No idea why - might just be me. Or is it zypper? 🤔 Idk, pacman just works for me (and apt, of course). RN I’m trying out Nix OS on my VM. It’s actually pretty cool, although I’m still not familiar with everything.

      And yes, an arch users let’s everyone know they use arch.

        I wish I could install it still, was so good.

        Yea, I literally couldn’t spell the name if I wanted to, I gotta look it up and copy paste it so can’t blame you for just going with EOS :D

        That is a lot of them :o You are the 2nd one who mentioned issues with OpenSuse in this thread, do chances are its not you.

        I use Arch btw.
