Can’t I go one week without having to uninstall and reinstall the damn deb file?

    Nowadays Arch is pretty straight forward. You have gui installers like any other distro. I never broke my Arch install in 3+ years using it.

      Thats what it seems. But as recent as my account here people have warned me about arch being unstable and such. It leaves me scratching my head tbh

        You can get an arch based distro with btrfs snapshots set up by default. An example is garuda. Btrfs lets you automatically take snapshots of your file system at set intervals. If you fuck something up and break something, you can restore yesterday’s snapshot or last week’s or whatever. Garuda’s default install even let’s you choose to boot into a snapshot from GRUB.

          I chose Garuda for this reason and I love it. the automatic snapshots have saved me several times, plus I like all the built-in tools for configuring a ton of things that I’d have no idea how to configure otherwise. The preinstalled software is also super useful. The only thing I didn’t like about it is the gaudy default theme but that’s easy to change.

            Endeavor is just Arch with AUR repos enabled by default, so it’s either just as easy or easier.
