You are already getting spammed into oblivion I see, but really choosing Manjaro instead of EndeavourOS, ARCO or Garuda is a bad decision nowadays. Although I would not really recommend the last two, as I didn't use ARCO and Garuda is a pain in the as in terms of you not knowing, wtf did your distro do with the base arch system. In Garuda my terminal/VSCode fonts broke once and I couldn't even remotely understand wtf was going on. Nobody on the forums even understood, how the hell did it happen, so I migrated to Endeavour.
And to be perfectly honest, if you can use Fedora, Endeavour is easy for you to use. A lot of the stuff you need and nothing you don't out of the box. The Arch base actually never broke on me. I once accidentally uninstalled SDDM, but that was definitely a me problem. I managed to do the same on Fedora afterwards. Therefore, if you ever want an Arch experience without putting the whole car together at the start, Endeavour is a very solid choice. Still not a beginners distro though, as it is a bit terminal oriented.
Thank you for the explanation. I haven't run anything arch based in years. I'll pin this to make sure no one tries manjaro for no reason.
@@Sirfreelancealot I am certainly saved. Thank you 👍
Surprisingly I had the opposite issue with Garuda just spontaneously functioning more than I would expect and EndeavourOS having inexplicable issues. Garuda is really one of the best linux distros for at least having a working OS at the end of the day.. (if you're not unlucky with your hardware)
Stop hating manjaro GUYS! if manjaro has 100 fans, i'm one of them, if manjaro has 1 fan, that's me, if manjaro has no fans, i'm dead.
Garuda is notorious for having terrible support as well. Imagine all of the condescending douchebaggery of the arch forums, but without even an ounce of the capability. Arch forums will patronize you and insult you and also give you a complete set of instructions for troubleshooting your issue and offer several solutions. Garuda, you'll just be patronized and never offered any assiatance.

Use endeavor for "arch with a good installer", archinstall for "installer that sometimes works" or my favorite CachyOS for "endeavor if it was good". Best distro IMHO
What puts cachy above endeavouros? I wouldn't mind trying it out on the weekend if it's got something special
@@lpnp9477 "optimized" packages that do not make the slightest performance difference
so basically bloated arch with an installer
@@lpnp9477 wait I typed an essay did I not post it 😭 I had 2 points: 1. Compilation for v3 and v4 architecture which makes it measurably faster and 2. QoL. The "cachyos hello" app has a bunch of tweaks and fixes for common issues, they include some AUR packages in the repo, they have a tool for ranking mirrors and actually applying the changes automatically, they have meta packages for stuff like gaming so you don't have to install all the libraries and tools manually.
I don't think the difference is very noticeable when you just play in a VM for half an hour but when you use it for a long time the experience is just better. Also you can just add their repos to your existing arch install without losing too much, but imho a clean install is better. Also if you use zsh they have oh-my-zsh built in and preconfigured.
I'd say it has the benefits of arch without many of the drawbacks of arch for normal users (not everything has to be configured and ran by hand, but no one is stopping you, if you want to).
In the end, it's still lightweight as pretty much nothing is preinstalled, has a better repo and it's still arch so you can delete anything you don't want to (which is like 2-3 apps if you choose not to use them). I wouldn't say migrating from endeavour (or however it's spelled...) makes much sense but if you're installing an OS on a new machine/reinstalling the OS, you might like cachy. But adding the repos anyway never hurts lol. Just make sure to install the cachyos-rate-mirrors because like the only drawback of cachy is that sometimes independent mirrors get out of sync which breaks updates 😐. There's a fix for that in the "cachyos hello" but if you don't know about it you'd have to search for it.
Oh yeah, there are also multiple kernels available and you can also choose them in the "cachyos hello" for ease of use (or when installing of course)
I used Manjaro once. The people managing it blew up a lot of people's systems, it was completely unjustified and people told them exactly that, and the response was "well, should've read the notes." The notes that tell you that they're blowing up your PC. Yeah, might as well just use Arch then.

Gaming on Linux isn't complicated, it mostly either works, for everything except AAA and anticheat, or not. Out of the box. Even for old Windows games you can't run on a modern Windows.

works or not kekekek, yeah that is the problem, most of the games and windows apps don't work.. so you need to run a VM with windows or another pc to work and play games, at this point just run windows.
It's insane how hard manjaro went from being a good functional system to being the biggest, clunkiest piece of shit distro I've ever used.

Recommending Manjaro is a crime. EndeavourOS is Arch with preconfigured DE's and a good installer. Manjaro has too many problems these days. Sorry if you've been getting these comments a lot, but yeah. Other than that it's a good video.
Yeah manjaro is great if you like headaches but not migraines. If you like migraines use vanilla arch. If you prefer a clear head use endeavouros, just don't ever try to update it.
@@lpnp9477 Not sure if you're reffering to updating Manjaro or Vanilla Arch/Endeavours, but updating is a major problem on Manjaro. It's good as long as you don't use AUR, but using Arch without taking advantage of AUR is pointless in my humble opinion. If you use AUR on Manjaro, held back main repo packages might ruin your AUR packages or your system. It doesn't happen on vanilla Arch and Endeavour, though there is an odd case here and there where a fresh package messes something up. But it's rare these days and you can use AUR as you like.

I had quite an adventure with Linux:
- Managed to nuke my system via ‘sudo rm -rf /*’ thinking it would only remove everything inside my current dir.
- Managed to get trapped inside Vim multiple times. Had to restart the computer to break free, because I didn’t have internet to ask it what to do
- Managed to nuke my system answering ‘yes’ to the question ‘Do as I say’…
Trapped inside vim I get, but you managed to install linux in a console setup without being told how to switch tty? That is what saved me a lot of reboots in my starting days.
(Alt+Fn (or Ctrl+Alt+Fn if in X), use Alt+sidearrow to scroll through the ttys. X is usually on tty1 or tty7 depending on your setup)
That "do as I say" used to be "yes, I understand that this might harm my system" (or something similar) - kinda miss that variant of the prompt, was clearer.
What distro were you using that doesn't have root protection on rm ;p
I'm sorry but this is like the Linux equivalent of that one gif of Homer making cereal light on fire
- Managed to nuke my system by doing chown -R root:root / because I was new and forgot to add a dot before /

I mean, if using Manjaro, you might as well use arch after a while.
By using manjaro in the past, I got to learn a LOT about how arch works having to fix it when they constantly screwed up my installation. xD
You know, tiny things like stuff from systemd suddenly showing up as installed from AUR and such, even though I had zero packages installed from the AUR, just small things like that...
I got tired of that soooo...
I now use Arch btw...
elementary os was mentioned
@willi1978 he's referring to endeavorOS
Garuda is just worse Manjaro and endeavour... With a ugly theme. So it's understandable to not mention it.
He was spot on when he predicted that most of us are watching this video on Android. Because Apple Mac and Iphone user is not gonna watch a video about Linux Distro.
Android forever
Idk I use Linux on my computers but use an iPhone for my phone.
Just installed arch on Mac OS with utm 💀

I knew a girl who was like that. Also dressed like a stereotypical tech girl (with the socks and everything).

Didn't want me hanging around her at all but couldn't come up with a reason Mum would take seriously and didn't want to die on that hill.
@@katanah3195 ur dad sounds smart
I use Nixos btw
Contrary to what was said, NixOS is _not_ literally one big configuration file.
It _can_ be one big configuration file, but if you've been using it for long enough, you've probably broken that configuration file into several smaller configuration files. (My NixOS is currently 7 configuration files, one of which does nothing but list every single Noto font.) As far as Nix is concerned though, there's no difference (so little difference that it literally won't have anything new to build).
I don't for now, but it's likely by end of summer. Which will mean that half my comments under other stuff will still consist of "I use arch btw" while I don't use arch. Or maybe I'll just remain on arch with home manager forever
nixos-rebuild switch
Nixpkgs and the nix package manager are great if you are caipable of not having a migrane from the nix language

I don't think it's fair to say arch is like lego without instructions, when the archwiki is known to be the best linux documentation.

For me, debian is the toyota of linux distros, for beginners, linux mint is really good. I never gonna install manjaro ever again, because i only just did "sudo pacman -Syu" and the system broke. Currently running debian on my main machine and fedora on my second one.
Yup that shit happens all the time on manjaro and even endeavouros
Mint is also good on most chromebooks, less prone to things not working at all, looking at you manjaro. You have to go to some strange elaborate way to get some hardware to work properly in manjaro. That probably just arch in general with chromebooks.
Very good and funny Video. I think you can cut that even faster to make the jokes hit harder.
The CZcams algorithm brought me here and I'm glad it did. I've now watched all your videos and I'm very excited to see what else will come here in the future :)
Using fedora minimal is so good that I probably will never switch my workspace to any other distro unless they f* up something really bad
imagine getting
debian like stability + arch like updates + good package manager + supports mostly everything that is available
and can run well on server with no complications I assume
well if you got confused : fedora workstation and fedora minimal is different thing
it runs on my device with hyprland TWM on 500-700mb of ram and just uses 5gigs of storage with all setup ( it increases as you use system , install stuffs ofc but you got the point : its lightweight )
Debian and Fedora are the best distros.
Since switching to Fedora 18 months ago, I've had the least amount of issues than on many other distros. Every time I've tried to use Linux Mint Cinnamon I always run into some issues. I want to like it but just can't
1:12 "elementary os is great if you're transitioning" -> come on, we all know arch and gentoo are the trans people distros!
"Read the documentation", including "read the manual" is actually a secret codeword which translates to "I acknowledge that what you're trying to do is not intuitive, however I can't be bothered to explain it and nobody has bothered to actually make it intuitive so I'm going to say something that seems like it's useful advice at face in the hopes that you go away.".
Just puttin' that out there.
RTFM generally means, I don't know either but I am not going to admit that
Manjaro is just Arch without the "btw" rights.

There is also a nobara. It is like Pop_OS! but based on fedora instead of Ubuntu. They position it as distro for gamers (+-like pop) and content creators. Also they have version with nvidia drivers (again like pop os).
Btw, have you heard about bedrock linux? Unique thing.
Currently using nobara, enjoying it quite a bit. (For context I was dual booting windows 10 with ubuntu a couple months ago, then I uninstalled ubuntu. Well like a week ago power flickered and I booted into grub rescue. couldn't boot into any drive, or windows, so I said fuck it and installed nobara.)
if you use KDE neon, you REALLY like spending hours ricing your desktop only for wine to uninstall itself after every update
I really like ricin
I agree with your opinion on Fedora - it is the best of both worlds, stable and advanced. For all the distro-hopping I have done, I consistently come back to Fedora.
One question about red hat linux (from a beginner), how can something be commercial/paid but open-source? When your software is distributed and modified by other people is there still some sort of a pay wall when accessing them? How is it done?
There are many ways you can do that.
For example supabase (a database provider) lets you host supabase yourself on your own server but with a few features missing.
RedHat developed distributions of linux and gave them for free but if you wanted support (which if you were a massive corp, was a must) you'd pay them X amount. Currently RHEL (as far as I'm aware) is not available for free use and technically is not open source, but is based on other open source technologies and pulls features from Fedora which is open source.
As a side note, "open source" afaik does not mean the source code has to be open for everybody, just the actual users of the software upon request. If you don't pay for RedHat, you are not technically entitled to the source code. This still didn't stop clone distros like Rocky Linux from appearing, but that's a whole other can of worms.
Another common monetization model for open source projects is like Aseprite, where the source code is open to everyone, but you have to pay to access any precompiled binaries. You COULD just compile it yourself, but most people are not going to want or know how to.
@@coolcool5181isn't that just "source available"? Like unreal engine isn't open source but you can access and modify it like it were
IT support can only do so much. If something needs fixing, they cannot do it, while RedHat devs can literally fix the bug upstream (which many times they actively contribute to). Also there is bunch of certifications needed for companies and government, which doesn't come for free and also requires effort. These things are what "support" here means.
After switching to Arch ive been so happy with doing pc stuff, computing was made actually fun again instead of "this is painful, i just want it to work and nothing more" like on windows, thank god i never have to deal with that level of instability that everyone pretends doesnt exist on windows ever again

Correction: Arch Linux has some of the best instructions in the form of the Arch Wiki. It is much easier to follow than pretty much any other technical document I came across.
stop spreading misinfo. it doesn't matter that it has a "good wiki". no one should read a long ars wiki just to install an OS.

I use FreeBSD, it's like Linux but 10x more frustrating, a challenge to get up to date drivers, and lots of software is unavailable
But I'll be damned if I didn't learn a lot and find a cool mascot

@@meci6625 i run freebsd via ghostbsd on my desktop. works well and feels good using bsd over linux. and freebsd has over 30.000 packages. plus the linux compatibility layer. ive used strigaht up freebsd its kinda like arch in the since you setup everything manually but its not hard plus the community for freebsd is imo better. they do not care about if its foss/gpl they just want it to work how they want it. and i like the MIT license allot better over the GPL license
@@meci6625 I believe only hackers who love to tinker would seriously use BSD as their main OS. BSD is mostly for servers with strict resource limitations since they usually take less ram and storage space than linux. BSD is great for a log less vpn on a cloud server, not as a personal OS.
@meci6625 I had to swap wifi chips in my laptop to get very slow wifi working. Plus a bit tricky for graphics drivers since my laptop has dual graphics.
But for coding it's fantastic and it's insanely fast. Plus super stable, I've had debian and fedora crash on my laptop a bunch.
That said, I can do the majority of things I'd do on a Linux laptop, but honestly it's not quite as convenient for some things
I find Alpine Linux is the most resource-efficient, if you want a computer that does only a few things. After the initial installation it took less than 100 MB of disk. I could install XFCE for basic desktop and FireFox, and the disk usage is still about just 1GB. For comparison, when I installed Arch with XFCE, it used about 5GB.

Thinking of jumping straight into using debian as my first swap from windows to linux. Kind of put off of arch since ppl say its the most diy/non newbie. I keep flip flopping what i should use. Now considering opensuse as well, are there any cons to it? Should i stay away from company owned distros? Best way is probs to actually start trying them out but iv got cold feet rn (at least until windows recall gets pushed). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
If you are good with computers/comfortable with terminal commands than the best distro is any distro, just choose one you think looks good/sounds interesting IMO.
I would avoid arch as a first distro just because you can already learn a lot on any distro and your experience will be smoother.
Good luck!
You can't go wrong with Ubuntu to get started. If you're already on Windows (or this thing called, "the internet") you aren't giving Canonical any data you're not already giving away as is. Ubuntu is sort of the anti-Arch in that you don't need to DIY everything and it mostly just works.
openSUSE is very good distro, especially for beginners

That being said, i’d prefer to switch if my data is being sold, but idk if i’m ready for arch yet. I just started linux like a month ago. What should i switch to?
It doesn't sell your data. It was sending your search results to an amazon api or something (there is a comment explaining it well) and after huge and immediate backlash they reverted the change.
@@Sirfreelancealot ohhhh thanks for clearing that up, i was worried i’d have to learn another distro :)
@@SamIsAran you should learn other distros too, becoming good with multiple makes your experience with each better as you understand them more, and hey, maybe you find a new favorite

Almost wanted to say Clear Linux isn't that buggy, but they recently had a bug that deleted all user data after an update.
The real issue is that it has very few of the optimized packages and thanks to the XZ backdoor incident they removed everything that depends on it, even smaller desktop environments.
XZ itself is still there to support RPMs with a huge warning on the package.

Pop!_OS makes my gaming laptop (w/ Nvidia) super performant, can't recommend it enough!
It is really good as long as you don't have any silly bells and whistles on your laptop that are important to you. Then you're pretty much stuck with an arch distro
Nobara better
@@lpnp9477 „bells and whistles“?
@@sirultor648 smaller community tho
@@Autismagus can always look up fedora for niche problem solving. And it is more optimised for gaming. Just my opinion tho
2:42 u have a instructions manual its the arch wiki...
I was going to say that. Now, if you want something with poor documentation where it feels like there's no guide then go for NixOS.
@@brainstormsurge154 Can confirm
Arch Wiki isn't a book of Lego instructions, though-it's a *computer science textbook.* Even the install guide says things like, "And now it's time to install a bootloader! You can read about that in this completely separate ~chapter~ webpage."
@@GSBarlev ya they are like Wikipedia... They say stuff and assume u know it and if u don't then search for a blue hyperlink u noob... Thats insult but if u get used to it then it's the best as no other distros has a wiki that huge

The pun, "...they aren't on our level." made me nearly piss myself. Subscribed.
You're right about Zorin OS being the love child of Windows and Linux. I'm a Windows user who just set up a dual boot between Windows 10 and Zorin OS 17.1. The transition was very easy, even for a Windows user like me. The hardest part was getting the dual boot to work right. I had to use Grub-Customizer to do that. Otherwise, pretty smooth.
manjaro is kinda bad now. EndeavourOS is a better arch derivative.
why not just use arch btw
@@icantcomeupwithnames469i value My time
@@icantcomeupwithnames469Endaveour comes with an installer so you dont have to read a wiki and you get some cool space wallpapers. Also it preconfigures the DE for you so you wont have to set that up either.
Manjaro sucks, use Endeavour OS instead
not many differences than arch/endeavoros. if it has pacman i'm happy.
@@BeTechAwareit doesn't. You can install it but it barely works. Better to just use yay
@@lpnp9477 it has pacman pre installed
Great video, simple, easy and entertaining for anyone wanting to go to Linux.

4:30 totally unnecessary and xenophobic comment. Even if you *think* that the CPC is not good, there's no reason to attack the chinese developers of Deepin. These types of comments are such a turn off on videos that were cool like this. Comments like this are so 2003-ish.
As a person moving away from Windows, which distro is best and why? Currently trying Linux Mint atm.
Good place to start, it generally just works
The distro of choice depends entirely on your needs. For general desktop use, just sticking with Mint is a nice option.
linux from scratch is basically the equievalent to building a car from engine parts
What no Bunsenlabs mention. I am devastated i tell you.

Ha he didn’t talk shit about my Hannah Montana Linux. I win!
I have made a Network folder at work, so everyone does not have to download their favorite distro from their website, but can just get it from the fileserver. :D It includes every single linux Distro I could find even obscure ones like Redstar OS. It took a lot of work and the downloading wouldve taken even longer if I didnt decide to use torrents which was in my experience often faster. I should make a list of the versions that are included so that if you know any more versions, i can add them. It is not only Linux it also has other operating systems like Haiku, Free BSD or even Windows. Even the Server versions of it. On that regard it is not fully done yet, I would love to add even more but I am currently not at work but at school. But once I return to work I make sure to add many more operating systems and linux distros. I tried some software that allows you to change network folder icons. But once the server restarted they are all broken now. So that didnt work sadly :( It took a really long time to make, really really long and I put a lot of effort in it. Sad it is gone. The isos are there and working tho, just the images gone.
Slackware a crocodile, that hasn’t changed in 14 million years. Yeah, because it is perfectly adapted to it’s environment as an apex predator. :D
I tried pop os for gaming and it was laggy with strange stutters that I never had in any other distro
I've been using Arch for about 6 months now and dunno why but I'm seriously considering switching to Fedora or PopOS since past couple weeks. This will probably offend a lot of people here
No I get it. You prefer a computer to work for your intended use case rather than spend hours going in circles and getting nowhere. I would definitely use pop if I weren't addicted to gimmick laptops
FYI Pop OS has gotten a bit stale since they're busy working on their own IDE and default apps. I'm excited for what's to come, but for now, I'm using Tuxedo OS, another distribution that's also built by a manufacturer for their own devices (just like Pop OS).
Also I think AntiX deserves an honorary mention. It runs smooth even on the oldest of potatoes where the modern installers literally panic and is the only distro I know of that has on-board tools for using it as a persistent system on a stick.
I somehow think you could have mentioned the raspberry Pi OS, but great video!
Tell me why I got an Apple Pay ad once this video ended
I can confirm, I do use Debian because it's a brick. I got it as my first Linux distro at the start of this year, after primarily using Wndows since 2020, and OSX on one imac since 2009. Because an iMac is only expensive if you don't plan to use it for 10 years.
I used to use arch btw, then I chilled tf out and didn't feel like running pacman -Syu every 15 minutes and switched to Debian permenantly (until I inevitably find a reason to switch again)
"You might be worried that your favorite distro hasn't been mentioned yet"
That's never been a problem for me, because I use Arch btw
that lubuntu one was personal edit: the android one is even more personal than ubuntu
Nothing pained me more than the time I was forced onto Ubuntu Creative Studio.
UCS is the unwanted bastard child of Ubuntu. You know, a distro people already hate loaded up with open source creative bloatware that doesn't work. By the way this was in 2018, Way before Valve actually began to go anywhere with linux and make it usable.
Arch users don't know what a shower is
Kali does not make anyone mr.robot and as a daily driver it blows. Ubuntu and any variation of it eats a big hairy one. Debian can be configured to do anything or look like anything you want. Red Hat and variations of it should be avoided for any real work.
Debian is where it's at.

This was wayy to funny!!! Keep at it subscribed :)
the best way to farm engagement on a linux video is mentioning arch or one of its derivative distros in a way arch users dont agree with
i use arch BTW
No arch user agrees with another arch user. It's like the Scotts.
Arch users ruined being an arch user!
I use modified mint btw, with my custom package manager from terminal. Im about to use mageia as a server, also, with my package manager.
