    After Bazzite I went to Garuda, is also gaming focused and has a handy helper app that helps you install common software, run updates, and more.

    If you need a new distro it’s worth a look.

      I go with CachyOs Ik ik the compiler optimizations only give a minor difference and maybe major in latency but am just comfy with it.
      I just like how minimal is the distro

        Cachyos has some great default setup choices too. Limine with btrfs + snapper, all preconfigured… spot on!

            Grub was really the only option if you wanted a snapper rollback though.

            But now Limine is the new choice for me.

            Systemd-boot doesn’t play with snapper.

              True but systemd-boot also worked for me on opensuse?

                Interesting. I wonder if opensuse wrote up their own solution to this. I did find a post from Cachyos Petr last year responding that he’d like to see more how opensuse boatloader is managed.

                I only ever used grub with tumbleweed.

        Why not just install the CachyOS kernel onto Fedora (like me)? I then deleted the stock kernle and now make sure to use --exclude=kernel* when updating. Works like a charm.

      Honestly go for EnOS. Garuda is neat and has a good default setup, but they’ve gone a little far with their modifications imo

          I just don’t like their candy design that much and it’s effort to undo post-installation

            I assume you are taking about desktop environment stuff? I installed the xfce version and it’s been pretty streamlined.

                That’s fair, but as a Linux beginner, I was happy to have more software than I needed at the start rather than not enough. If you know what you are doing, I could see how you could have a different opinion.

          Yeah, but it’s still more work to remove KDE and things… EnOS has an installer that allows you to cherry-pick your preferred packages

        Honestly go for EnOS.

        Is that the whole name? Because searching shows YenOS, EndeavorOS, EventOS, EndlessOS and one ENOS based off Xubuntu (a single 2020 mention for a 0.4 version)

      Isn’t Garuda also based on Fedora?

      Edit: I was thinking of Nobara.
