    I’ve been recommending Endeavour because its “Arch with a nice installer” and it seems to go down well with modestly technical people.

    Especially since they can then pick their DE.

          It’s easy because you’re used to Linux and most likely have been using it for a while (maybe, idk). I agree that Arch isnt hard but I probably wouldnt even be able to figure out how to mount my disks or even find the install iso 6 years ago when I had no linux and no “terminal” experience.

            Skill issue.

            Equally, I have no idea how to do anything in Windows 11. Its as alien to me as linux is to you. I understand macos better than I understand windows.

              I’m assuming you meant “linux was to you” as the entire comment is about how linux is not alien to me anymore lol

          Yes for tech savvy people…

          Have you seen the average person? They dont even know the difference between a hard drive and a SSD, how are you going to get them to use arch?

            Ya’ll need to read and surround yourself with people who can tie their own shoelaces.
