@jhx Yup. I say to myself I don't actually mind the elitists and -generally speaking- trolls, but then I have often seen myself justifying, for example, why I use Ubuntu, or why I like Java or PHP, which are usually targets for some "superior" minds. This is why I posted this: https://fosstodon.org/@array/112360125565817471 ;)
@array
I like to recommend the distros I use BUT I do not force them on anyone. Everyones needs are different, that is a fact of life.
I totally do not care what distro/coding lang/etc. anyone uses.
Took me some time to get it figured out for Steam Deck as well. If you're still having trouble getting things working, try something along the lines of this guide. It's what worked for me.
I wonder why you list the window managers/desktop environments separately. One would think that all Arch-based distributions (“distros”) support most window managers anyway?
@tux0r I list them, so I know which distros emphasize which window Managers/Desktop
Environments. Generally distros provide excellent clues to learn from... As for sameness, it is difficult to achieve design & implementation objectives if you don't know how someone created a particular setup. New tools and tricks appear all the time.
und so geht es...oder?
I personally write-up what I learn and share it. Not everyone does that, though. I can assure you, it's Free and worth every penny. Seriously though, you are free to wander my writings to check the details and understand more of what I do with what I discover, assuming that is of interest.
hell yeah!!!
It was a nightmare to get the nvidia drivers working (or a working display for that matter), but I've made it to #Debian .
It's probably not that hard, but I've lost some hair on this one.
Thx Internet for the help, thx #Linux for the fun.
Next might be #archlinux but for now, while empowered, I also feel like a drained battery.
EndeavourOS has the option to install Vanilla Arch Linux without any modifications, using just the GUI installer.
It is Arch Linux and I don't believe in gatekeeping arguing just because you didn't use the terminal, it isn't arch. -- Which I have done, but I value my time.
I also much prefer the EndeavourOS Community. They are friendlier and more helpful.
This posting is intended to function not only as a tutorial but, also, as a review and commentary on my ‘long-term’ use of spectrwm as my primary window manager (long-term, meaning at least one month of daily use).
