    I’m trying new distros out. I’ve been using Zorin (basically Ubuntu) for a long time now and getting tired of it.

    I tried NixOS woth Hyprland, but I just could plugins to work on the NixOS’ default Hyprland install, and installing things I needed to compile it on NixOS was way too hard, so I gave up.

    Tried GoboLinux (very unknown, but very cool) with awesome wm, but nothing fucking worked. The bootloader didn’t work, after that it’s package manager didn’t work, after that the touchpad tap didn’t work.

    I’ll try Manjaro now. It would be cool to get Hyprland to work still.

      Do tell us how it goes!!! I thought endeavouros was better than Manjaro, but I absolutely encourage you to explore your options :)

        Oh, I didn’t know that one, it looks interesting. I was quite hyped with GoboLinux because it tried to mitigate the things that annoy me the most in linux, that’s how complex is the installing (and uninstalling, mainly) of programs. I mean, you always have the distros’ package managers (apt, pacman, aur, yum, …), compiling by hand and moving or linking to system folders, downloading a binary, flatpak, snap, brew, appimage. When I get to uninstall a program for some reason, I never know how to do it, because I never remember how I installed it.

          EndeavourOS (which is very close to vanilla Arch, in a good way) comes with yay, which makes installing software super easy. You can search for and install a program by just typing "yay " and selecting what you want to download. Note that this also works for anything in the AUR, which includes lots of stuff that you’d usually have to manually compile.

            +1 on Endeavour instead of Manjaro. EOS is better in every respect plus it’s much closer to vanilla Arch.

    definitely experiment with other window managers, I’ve found river to suit my needs way more than hyprland after doing minimum configuration.

      Oh I absolutely plan on it. One of the reasons I love Linux so much is the amount of options you have, I wanna explore all of em!
