If you want to learn more new things on your distro hop journey.
Have a look at Void Linux.

If you want to be totally rad, try Artix Linux - it doesn't use systemd like Arch or Endeavour OS. I would have stuck with it but couldn't install my Canon printer.

lol not ready to go rad ,plus i don't care bout printers cause i have none
just wanted to try arch cause it sounded bit more difficult than Debian based .
endeavour looked "tamed" to me plus one could choose from like 10 DE at install, i chose xfce obviously lol

EasyOs is a good one to have.
Runs insanely fast on a USB 3 stick.

hmmm the cli is different , finally figured out difference between pacman and yay
let the installations begin :grin:

I prefer Solus over any (most) Arch distros. Barebone arch is also good in my book.

That sounds super interesting. Not a fork? Runit!!!! Custom package manager with BSD licensing?!?!?!? Omg where do I sign up to see this chimera???

I actually tried to start with a Gentoo install last night. Read though the first part of the instructions before fleeing in terror. <_<

g**damn this terminal is FAST.
never seen anything like it lol , install /update /upgrade /whatever in seconds :star_struck:

Artix is not that rad. It broke off from arch and uses it's own repos. My favourite was Plasma edition:

oh btw, this was the 1st time ever i could manage to boot from a usb. all other times i tried to install some distro it failed and i could only get it going with writing iso to a dvd and boot from dvd disk.
but ive learned about ventoy here , used it and booted from my ventoy usb with no probz .
:grinning:

Lol I meant more like this:


but I actually have heard of Chimera Linux recently on a topic I was reading on the FreeBSD forum.

Sounds like you are having one heck of a lot of fun over there! I picture your fun like hopping on a snow sled, as you are going down a mountain saying woohoo.

Watch out for that tree! Thanks for the warning, I almost clipped that! And you exit your triumphant return, as you go through a Tori gate. Well, it is an Arch of a sort. <<< --- HEHE :crazy_face:

I am glad you are enjoying your systems snappy behavior, on your Arch based distro. And you mentioned its use of Pacman? This is a Pacman

pacman love GIF

I must admit though, I'm fascinated by your witness statement, in regards to the speed of the Arch terminal. Have fun!


As far as I heard and read, it seems that Endeavour OS is a good Entry Point for Arch.

I tried Endeavour for a few months, and it was very nice. Unfortunately at one point it went bananas on me and had to replace it. You'll never guess what I installed, instead :sunglasses:
