Endeavor is a also a very good choice. It is pretty much arch with some QoL stuff added. Uses the arch repos for packages.

Mine updates with all my other stuff. Not sure why you’d need to download it every time. I installed it with pacman.

Yeah you could try installing Linux with the Windows drive disconnected. I had Windows and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed installed with two drives on my old PC without any issues.

Hmm. Windows shouldn’t be putting anything on the Linux drive. Maybe disconnect the other drive before installing Windows.

You could use a separate drive for Linux.

Have you checked out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed? Very stable rolling release. I’ve been using it for a couple years without issues.

I really enjoy Tumbleweed. I’ve been using it for about 18 months now without issue. One thing to note though is that TW only packages production release Nvidia drivers. This means you will not have the 555 or 560 drivers that make Wayland usable by default. You can always install the latest drivers with the run file provided by Nvidia. Some people also use the CUDA repo to get the newer drivers. However, I’d think both of these options may be the type of tinkering you are trying to avoid.

Overall I think TW is a great distro but it may be a bit more setup for Nvidia gaming on Wayland than you are looking for. If you’re down with doing a little tinkering or gaming on X give it a shot. You can always roll back if something gets messed up.

Oh nice I’ll have to check that one out

I enjoyed Dark(German), Deutschland 83(German), and Gomorrah(Italian)

Osrs and WoW both run on Linux if you want something addictive lol. Bottles seems to work best for battle.net stuff.

Oh yeah I’m on X11 for now, waiting on nvidia to be ready before trying wayland again. AMD users should be fine to use wayland though.

Rolling but feels very stable. Packages go through a testing phase before release to make sure they work properly. I really like getting all the newest updates and features.

openSUSE Tumbleweed is pretty comfy. Btrfs snapshots enabled by default so it’s really hard to break it. I’ve been using it for about 8 months now and haven’t had any big issues.

Oh nice! I wonder if this will fix discord streaming audio?

I don’t see why not. Lots of new cars have these features built in.

It’s like knowing where everything in front of you is without having to touch or hear it. Sight works with your other senses too. For example, if a pillow is laying on the floor in an unfamiliar room I’ll know what shape it, how far away it is, and that if I pick it up it’ll feel soft. If the pillow was really gross looking I’d be able to tell without smelling it first.

Zenni has really good prices. I bought some prescription sunglasses from them for about $50. The site suggested I spend an extra $70 on high-index lenses but I ignored it. Glasses work great.

I’ve been using Nova forever. Any new phone doesn’t feel right until I install it. I like the customization options and the scroll for all apps.

I’m just started reading Wool by Hugh Howey. I finished the first season of Silo and didn’t want to wait a year to get more of the story. The book has been great so far. It seems like the show followed the book pretty well with a few changes.

Window screens, fly ribbons, and a Bug-A-Salt gun lol. The bug-a-salt shoots salt very fast to kill bugs.
