What's the best #Linux distro/spin for someone who is coming from Windows 11 or Windows 10, aside from #LinuxMint?

Do y’all think that being interested in Linux is a sign of autism?
¡Primer #ViernesDeEscritorio en #archlinux!
Bueno, primer todo. No llevo ni 24 horas, solo me ha dado tiempo a instalar Firefox y cambiar el fondo de escritorio. Me quedan muchas cosas que instalar y ajustar, pero ya estoy aquí :-)
Realmente podría haberme quedado en #EndeavourOS, una distro que va súper bien y no me ha dado problemas. Pero uno es cabezón.
I've got a Denon Home 150 speaker; to connect it to my EndeavourOS laptop (Arch, BTW; with KDE as my desktop):
* pair it ; connects, then immediately disconnects, the KDE config panel for BT said "br-connection-key-missing"
* use `bluetoothctl` to disable link security
* oh, hey, it connects now and works fine!
* in the config panel, notice the device is not Trusted; set it to Trusted
* use `bluetoothctl` to enable link security
* everybody now happy
Is https://endeavouros.com/ down, or am I just having network issues?
I've installed `snapd` on my EndeavourOS system (it's Arch, BTW) just to use Lunatask - https://lunatask.app/ (the AppImage is a bit funky still, snap is the "native" Linux version).
I can't remember what annoyed me about snaps when I ran Kubuntu; maybe they've fixed it by now? Still makes a mess in your mount table but what can ya do.
native package > Flatpak > AppImage > Snap > install from source, at least on my system
Any one using #AUR on #Arch? There have been packages infected with a trojan, packages are:
- librewolf-fix-bin
- firefox-patch-bin
- zen-browser-patched-bin
More info here: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/thread/7EZTJXLIAQLARQNTMEW2HBWZYE626IFJ/
It's not even that the devices are asleep, they show up in `avahi-discover` and I can list the info about their advertised abilities. They're just not showing up in the sound UI anymore.
My work laptop (a Mac) is still showing up, even though that's asleep too.
I've got a couple of HEOS-supporting devices from Denon, which also support AirPlay. I wanted to be able to play audio from my laptop (EndeavourOS; aka Arch, BTW).
*Finding* the info was harder than setting it up: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Streaming_audio_to_an_AirPlay_receiver
As soon as I followed that, my HEOS devices showed up as audio devices in the sound settings. Looks like they vanish when the devices go to sleep though, so I have to figure that out.
OH SHI~ Seamonkey builds from source on EndeavourOS (Arch, BTW), guess it's fan noise time.
@itsfoss #kdeplasma #wayland on #endeavouros, coming from #budgiedesktop. Bugs are _really_ minor. Signal crashes sometimes when opening the screencast portal and I got the top left corner of my screen unusable once after a Windows game crashing under Wine. Beside that, everything is flawless. Most of I do in Qt Creator, Floorp, Signal, Alacritty, virtmanager/boxes, FL Studio and Wine/Proton. I was an user of Wayland before but went back to X to use #budgiedesktop.
@itsfoss Team #Wayland FTW! Been using it with #KDE #Plasma on #EndeavourOS.
Jetzt online: "Welches ist die bessere Arch-Distro? - EndeavourOS vs CachyOS"
Well, last night I ran #Ollama on #endeavouros running on my #framewor16 and it worked better than expected. Very fast responses. I'm hoping to use it with #playwrightMCP to effectively fuzz my web changes in the background while I work. Just need to speed up the cycles between developing and QA at work.
Anyone with experience here, id love some advice on hooking up the mcp server. My first few attempts were met with vexing issues.

Do I missing something and is the list correct?
Some more tweaking, and my BeOS impersonation under XFce is near complete. It just feels good.
And the system now cold-boots at 475 MB of RAM. Awesome!
Got a present for my husband today, this official #RaspberryPi external monitor. I tested it this afternoon with my #EndeavourOS & #XFce installation on this old DELL laptop. Worked perfectly editing with #kdenlive as a second screen. 1920x1080 was enough to do it right too.
These BeOS themes look good-enough via XFce on my EndeavourOS installation. Reminds me of the good old times. Ah, these were the days...
how many things do you have installed from the AUR? i've always tried to keep the number low because it just seems like a good idea, but curious to see what others call sensible, or even decadent.
my count: 5
