Randy<p>Rant time: </p><p>It’s unbelievable that Windows 11 does not recognize that I removed OneDrive and ms Teams. After one simple update or reboot, it always comes back. The CPU is constantly running at 100%, and I don’t have anything open except for Task Manager. This laptop is less than 24 hours old, and I’m already preparing to switch back to Pop!_OS in the next few days. I knew that Windows was terrible, but even after de-bloating the OS, I don’t feel or see a difference. <br><a href="https://social.randyyy.eu/tags/Windows11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows11</span></a> <a href="https://social.randyyy.eu/tags/PopOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PopOS</span></a> <a href="https://social.randyyy.eu/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a></p>

Mika<p>Everyone's different so I'm not forcing this on anyone, I'm also not particularly recommending this to anyone, but from my personal experience, <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/ArchLinux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArchLinux</a> or rather its derivatives like <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/EndeavourOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EndeavourOS</a> (NOT including <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Manjaro" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Manjaro</a>) or even <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/SteamOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SteamOS</a><span> (to some degree, not apples-to-apples comparison since that OS is purposefully locked down) has actually been the most user-friendly to use and easy to maintain lol.<br><br>I think it's been 3 years or more now since I've made the switch? Not only me tho, since I've "deployed" the same setup also on our family PC, and on my wife's personal rig, and surprise, surprise.. we've faced not a single issue despite not being a </span><i>sifu</i> in <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> wizardry. I've had many, MANY more issues/frustrations using other distros for "normies" like <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/PopOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PopOS</a>, <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/ElementaryOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElementaryOS</a>, (and Manjaro 🙃<span>) and the biggest hurdle on those distros has always been software installation.<br><br>It was almost always the case, and I still see it happening now based on others' accounts of their experience, that you'll </span><b>very quickly</b><span> encounter a case where you want to install something, it's not found on any of the distro's repos and you'd have to add a dedicated software repository purely for that one package - and many other packages, before you could install them. Even worse, sometimes you'll have to go thru the same hassle to get their dependencies too. For a "regular" user that these distros are "catered" to? will almost certainly lead to breaking the system in some way.<br><br>This should be a bit better now thanks to </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Flatpak" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flatpak</a>/<a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Flathub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flathub</a>, but I'm still seeing people needing to do shit like download random scripts off of <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/GitHub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GitHub</a> just to get something like <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/DavinciResolve" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavinciResolve</a> installed and running. On an Arch-like distro, the only setup really I've done on all machines is to install <code>yay</code> which can be used in place of <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/pacman" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pacman</a> (Arch's default package manager), Flatpak, and <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/KDE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KDE</a>'s app store frontend, <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Discover" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Discover</a>. In 99% of cases, I can install/update the Flatpak of an app, if not, it'd either be available on Arch's repos or the <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/AUR" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AUR</a> (which comes with <code>yay</code><span> right out of the box) - all through the GUI.<br><br>Everything else from that point has been a breeze - and this is despite using an </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/NVIDIA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NVIDIA</a> GPU on at least 2 systems, mine esp with a much more complicated setup including multi-monitors, multi-capture cards/devices, professional audio equipment, touchpad, etc. None of us have ever encountered any Arch/distro related issues since we first started daily driving EndeavourOS - some minor issues that prop up here and there (rarely) have only been issues that face all Linux users like the transition to <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Wayland" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a><span> and so on.<br><br>Again, this is not a rec - I'd still recommend users looking to migrate from </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Windows" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows</a> to maybe try some of the more "mainstream" distros like <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/LinuxMint" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxMint</a> (+1 bonus tho if it comes with official <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/KDEPlasma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KDEPlasma</a> support) since they should theoretically be more "stable" as a non-rolling release distro, but if that's not working out, something like EndeavourOS could be an option.</p>
