… and I absolutely love it.

After my previous post where I asked for advice on distros I have tried Mint and EndeavourOS first as VM’s and afterwards I gave them their own partition and tried it on my real hardware.

Something about EndeavourOS just sat right though and I promptly replaced my windows install with it. KDE Plasma also blows me away with the amount of customisation that is possible.

I’ve spent some time configuring today but mostly aesthetic stuff as my hardware worked 95% out of the box. Some odd dependencies were missing for steam to work properly but I’m really not missing anything that windows had right now.

I’m curious how my uni workflow will look like now, but I’m sure I can make it work.

Thanks a lot for the support and advice you’ve given me. I really love the community on here.

I’ll get back to customising my bash prompt now. 😄

Edit: Due to popular demand:

I use Arch, btw.

    You mentioned customizing your bash prompt, I recommend checking out OhMyBash. https://github.com/ohmybash/oh-my-bash.

    Alternatively, zsh is also good, and a little bit more modern. I still haven’t found a solution that uses modern keyboard shortcuts and text entry functions. Even zsh things like shift+arrows and ctrl+arrows are an after market hack.
