I don’t get it. I have Garuda, which is Arch, and it was super easy to install. Maybe raw dogging Arch is harder?

Garuda absolutely nails it with their helper app that sets you up with a choice of popular software, handles updates, and gives you easy access to common settings.

It makes it very approachable for people new to Linux.

“the corporation” is running it now. It’s not about people any more, it’s all procedural and goal oriented operations now.

While doing your research, check out Garuda, it is gaming focused and I have found it extremely user friendly.

I started with Bazzite and moved from there to Garuda. Both have an Nvidia version that just takes care of that for you. I’ve never had to worry about drivers.

If you get to the point where you decide you want a distro that is not immutable, try Garuda, it’s where I went after Bazzite. It is also gaming focused and has a great helper app to install most of the things most people need and do updates.

And if you forgot to properly sign up for a long distance plan your calls were at “market rate” instead of the very reasonable price of about fifty cents to a dollar a minute.

I switched from Bazzite to Garuda to get away from it being immutable. It’s been great.

I use Garuda, you just install the Nvidia version and the updater handles updates automatically whenever you run it.

Easy peasy.

Xfce user, here to represent!

I love it and haven’t had any trouble. Try it out!

I dunno, I use Garuda and it’s an Arch distro. It’s been super user friendly and I’ve only had to learn console stuff when I wanted to mess with stuff most casual users wouldn’t be bothered with.

And maybe you would say, “well that’s not really representative of a normal Arch install” but isn’t that the point of different distros? That anyone can build on functionality to do something like make Arch more user friendly?

I hear you, but what if maybe, I know this is crazy, the government only took from the people but didn’t actually provide any services to them. It could be soooo profitable!

Bazzite was my first and was great and easy. If you don’t like the immutable aspect, check out Garuda.

I just got it yesterday, don’t worry your day will come!

Bazzite was my first first into Linux. I loved it overall, the thing that eventually made me switch was that the login screen background was locked behind immutability. It’s stupid, but matters to me. I’m on Garuda now and it has been great too.

Look for kindness. Look for a group trying to build something for others, not just tear something down or personal gain.

I tried Bazzite as my first try with Linux for a while and liked it; it was super easy. I didn’t like that the immutability went so far as to lock me out of some parts of the OS that I thought should be open, like lock screen customization.

Now I am on Garuda Arch and it has been really easy too.

I just installed Bazzite, it’s all baked in.

Married, happy, and doing financially ok (house paid off but no real savings). Life would have been a lot harder with kids.

How to debone a chicken:
First, remove the orgasms from inside the body cavity and set side.
Wash and dry the children.
Place the chicken in the rectum of a live cow to tenderize for three hours.
Turn the cow inside out and remove the chicken.
Coat the chicken in a thin brine of jet fuel and dust with flour.
Tie the legs of the chicken to a doorknob with a line of dental floss and save for later.
Ignite the chicken and catch it in a 2 quart greased pan at 425 degrees.
The bones will slide out easily.
