From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I need a distro that can work right out the box without too much hassle to configure it, which one would you recommend? (lemm.ee)

Mint, it just works.

EndeavorOs, just works, like Mint, but Arch Based so much better

Well, I just use arch, btw. 💁🏻‍♀️

Not exactly the hassle free experience op is looking for

Yea, that is why I recommended Mint in top comment.

With the statement about Arch I wanted to say, that I have no experience with endeavourOS 😂😅

Edit after reading endeavourOS web page: what is even the difference between endeavourOS vs. Installing arch using the archinstall python script and using yay as package manager?

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Only the installation is harder for Arch, EndeavorOS is easier to use then Mint, and installation is same thanks to the gui installer.

The difference between Arch with archinstall vs Endeavor is still the ease of installation.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So, the only difference to arch is, that you have a gui for installation? In that case, I like archinstall script more. Mostly because I think it’s faster.

What you think and what is the reality to casual users are two different things

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Hu? I never said that, I only told what I think I prefer for myself

[–] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Could you explain a bit about what makes it better?
