I use endeavourOS because of auto installed yogurt (I am lazy)
sry, but I'm lactose intolerant. So I guess, another win for CachyOS.
Hi fellow EOS user, this is my first time hearing about computer yogurt.

is yogurt still developed? I thought it was dead a long time ago and everyone went to yay
It's been yay on endeavours for its entire existence I think.
Install arch the arch way once or twice. After that use endeavouros because I don't need to spend the time.

Yeah thats kinda my problem with arch.... ive never found it easy to use or useful. Every actual usecase other than it being "cool" is filled by distros much more adapted. Actually want a system from scratch? Gentoo. Want to make it deployable and dependable? Nixos. Want something rock stable? Debian. Arch never had any appeal for me(focus on me here).
I like it because im new to linux and it is VERY well documented. Ive learned more in the last year than the last 20 on windows
Edit: also v lightweight. I dont mind doing a little extra work to know what my pc is doing
Yeah the documentation is just amazing. Even on nixos i often use the arch wiki to find things cause a lot of it applies to linux generally.

You want little bit of the ability to customize everything without having to compile from scratch every time? You want a well documented system that has excellent documentation and a community that digs into most edge cases? You want upstream fixes ASAP because your team of volunteers are struggling to backport fixes?
It has its place. I'm saying this as someone who uses Debian and red hat derivatives extensively.
To me slow roll, tumbleweed and fedora were good contenders for the same slot but none of them let you completely fuck around with the design like Arch does.

arch is a little bit of each of those things
I use mint because I'm too old and impatient for the more setup-heavy stuff.

Love the playfulness and the name itself...but I'm lazy and apt is shorter and quicker to type. I'm torn...
There's 'yay' which is a Pacman helper. And honestly I love typing it because it makes me happy
alias lzy="pacman -Syu"
or install yay and you don't even have to sudo (it still asks but you dont have to type it)

Apt is shorter, sure, but apt update && apt install … is much longer than pacman -S … so you should definitely switch
/jk
I am toyimg with the idea to switch my Thinkpad over to a new distro...so maybe I will ;)
I use Cachy for the same reason :P
c --> C
C c o would be better

Wait is that pacman? Had it always done that?
Its a config option. Add ILoveCandy in the options.
That's revolutionary, I need to switch back to arch in this case
What are you on now?
Probably meth, if they are thinking of switching back to arch.

I usually use yay but I do appreciate the whimsy in pacman
Yay uses pacman for the official repositories, so you can still use this setting if you want
YES
