Wow, that’s really impressive! And they’re not being paid by Apple either…

I thought there would be lots of Linux distros designed for SoCs since they’re somewhat common for laptops.

Huh, I thought it was ARM enough to work with existing other distros, but I guess not. I learned something new today, thanks!

Congrats. May I ask why you choose to go Fedora rather than another Debian derivative?

What alternatives are there? Just the big .org, .com, .net ones?

[W]ould anyone have spent this much time and effort writing about how much they hated Unix if they didn’t secretly love it? I’ll leave that to the readers to judge, but in the end, it really doesn’t matter: If this book doesn’t kill Unix, nothing will.

I like the foreword so far.

I can see the value of this. Linux \not \in Unix, and also Linux \not = Unix.

I realized it’s the literal homepage that has the .iso. I’m gonna try it out in a VM when I get the chance :)

I’ve looked into EndeavourOS now, and I’m very confused. Normally I’d download a .iso and burn it onto a USB using Balena Etcher (or Rufus), but the official page for EndeavourOS doesn’t have a .iso. I tried following “method three” on that article, but I don’t understand the dialog asking me to choose between Raspberry Pi, Odroid, and Pinebook. I don’t have any of those. I just have my own desktop PC with its Intel CPU. Also I see “ARM” everywhere and I think that also implies incompatibility because ARM is RISC whereas my 6th-gen Intel is CISC.

How do I get started?

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I haven’t had any issues in my few weeks with it, but I don’t want to wait until issues do show up.

Honestly I was just in love because the wifi just worked somehow without me having to port over drivers via USB dongle from my laptop.

We have the same exact requirements, which is a first. No Ubuntu, must play nice with Nvidia GPU, KDE is nice, basically your entire list of preferences. I’m glad you posted, for one.

Thanks. Guess I’ll have to look into EndeavourOS too, as commenters seem to be saying.

I’m just like you, newbie-intermediate Linux user who recently jumped from Windows to (Ubuntu then) Manjaro. What’s wrong with Manjaro?

… I’m the same age as Ubuntu.

Thanks, this is pretty fun!

Yeah, I was hoping the description of the post itself would contain the text as alt text. I’m glad someone posted a link to a transcription though.

It’s anxiety for me. Gets the legs jiggling.

I’ve been using Manjaro for a few days with no problems, and I have an Nvidia GPU. It works fine whether I choose open-source or proprietary GPU drivers upon booting. Does it not work for you?

(GTX 1070 Ti, if it matters.)
