Hopefully this kind of post isn’t too tired, but I figure it’s my turn:
Finally decided to, after absolutely refusing to upgrade to 11, make the jump from Win10 to Linux! Been hopping around distros a bit and landed on EndeavourOS last night and I’m really enjoying it so far.
It’s definitely tinkery and took me like 2 hours just to get my push to talk working in Discord (mostly due to my own lack of knowledge), but I love the level of control of everything you have (was on Pop!_OS before 🤮, edit: no hate, just wasn’t for me!)
There’s definitely never been a better time to switch and I’m very excited for when I inevitably brick my shit and come back here for help, so thanks in advance everyone! :)
I test-ran EndeavourOS for a future PC and like it. I am a Steam gamer though, so my work’s cut out for me in getting it to work on whatever hardware I choose.
You just have to install steam, haha. I got CS2 up and running in 10 minutes 😝
Steam works absolutely perfectly on EndeavourOS. No tweaking or anything required, just install and run. It also runs just about any game I ever tried, with troubleshooting as easy as choosing a different version of Proton from the dropdown.
Another confirmation that Endeavour is great with Steam. However I did have to follow the Arch wiki to install the correct Mesa drivers on my new PC (Radeon RX 7800 XT), as without those the GPU performance was crap.
Can confirm EOS works beautifully with Steam and has done for all the years I’ve used it.
If you were a non-steam gamer you’d have a little extra work cut out for you, but steam literally runs natively
