Hello there!

After some lurking on r/Unixporn and its Discord, I'm more and more tempted to try Linux as a daily driver. While I'm by no means a pro, I've been using WSL at work the past year and generally I can fiddle around finding solutions when something doesn't work.

These being said, the main requirements I would have from a distro is to be able to run League of Legends (saw that it's pretty straight forward using Lutris) and not be insanely complex from the get-go (wouldn't want to jump straight into something like Arch), I intend to use something like Hyprland.

So far I am split between OpenSuse Tumbleweed, NixOS, Fedora and EndeavourOS, but would gladly hear alternatives.

LE: Read (and tried to reply to) most messages. I will come back with an update once I decide my pick and see how it goes. Thanks everyone!

Thanks I have been using Manjaro for a few years now and like it, but didn't know about those issues. Like how aur scripts are not checked. Maybe it's time to switch around again.

The only reason I switched from Mint to Manjaro was that my new laptops video card wasn't supported (like mint wouldn't boot). But that was a few years ago, so it's probably not an issue anymore.

I used to like Ubuntu but hated Unity and hate snap.

    I couldn't boot Linux Mint unless I switched from UEFI to Legacy so after 2months of using it I switched to Fedora and then Manjaro.

    To this day Kali Linux and Linux Mint cannot boot on my device if it's using UEFI. I tried searching around, asked on forums and nothing came out of that, it's really weird.
