So basically i want try other rolling release distributions besides Vanilla Arch Linux So Give your thoughts on which is the best and also how to install the wifi drivers on Endeavour os and Gentoo Linux For a better experience
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
And if it does, roll back to the previous snapshot.
Second this
Arch
Arch
Yeah but it breaks down alot so its not for me unfortunately
If your Arch breaks down it’s likely any rolling release distro will also, because it means you’re likely not doing part of the maintenance a rolling release needs, such as ensuring the config files you’ve changed get properly updated.
Any rolling release distro is unstable, because unstable doesn’t mean what you think it means, it means that any library can be updated.
ok thanks for correcting my mistake and I’m sure arch isn’t impossible to use just a little bit tinky
Arch very rarely breaks on its own. But if the manually driven style of Arch is not what you’re looking for, try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or Slowroll.
what about endeavour os then
I love endeavour, really can’t go wrong with it. Is super lightweight, rolling-release, archbased (so you have AUR) and more robust than arch I’d say. It has never failed me.
However, my dad’s endeavour system broke once, idk if it was because no maintenance or what… I guess no system is perfect.
It’s literally arch with a graphical installer…

Tumbleweed
I love openSUSE Tumbleweed. It has a solid automated testing process that means packages will be held back rather than updating and breaking things.
Most Linux distributions are quite reliable, even rolling ones. What usually causes instability are the closed source applications people choose to run on them.
I’m not just pointing out nVidia drivers, I’ve seen Teams and Visual Studio Code crash an otherwise stable Ubuntu LTS.
I mean it’s not really rolling, but since this is Linux Gaming, I recommend checking out Nobara Linux. It’s a Fedora fork made by GloriousEggroll of the proton-GE fame. It’s the easiest Linux gaming experience I’ve had so far, at least with the non-modified Gnome version.
IMHO, you should avoid KDE – I’ve had nothing but bad experiences there – but if that’s your favourite poison go ahead.
It’s always really interesting seeing how people can have completely different experiences with kde and gnome!
I have had nothing but a great experience with kde for years but every time I’ve tried gnome it’s always been a buggy experience!
Yeah, like OP I too have had just unpleasant experiences with KDE while Gnome run great
Yeah, I wonder about that too sometimes. Perhaps a matter of hardware choices or just plain taste.
thanks but I comfortable with using rolling release Distros for Gaming
Sure. Rolling distros aren’t an “advanced form” of Linux though, just different.
just use arch and don’t do anything stupid (like not updating regularly)
I don’t know how there are people that wait a month between updates, it’s like they don’t actually want a rolling release.
I have used debian for 20 years, I am very happy with it. Also zero problems with gaming nowadays
If you want a desktop distro up to date with kernel, DE, etc. which does’t crash I can advice Fedora. Aftet the six month release cycle it is easy to update. I used it for a couple of years on my home pc and it was very good.
NixOS because you can roll back when anything breaks, install stable versions of packages, and put your configuration in version control
Garuda Linux is basically Endeavour OS but more gaming oriented, might be worth checking out.
Give void a try, setup was pretty easy for a more diy style distro.
But is void a really good choice for gaming
