My gaming PC has been running EndeavourOS for about a year now. First ever time running any spin of arch and it’s been a stellar expirience. You can pry this desktop from my cold dead hands, I love it.
If you get bored later on try CachyOS. An update borked my eOS install and somehow screwed up my snapshots. So rather than deal with it, I tried out Cachy (Arch base) and just never went back. It has some quirks, but I haven’t had any issues for the past 6 months. And it’s fast.
Oh yeah sorry I didn’t mean for it to sound like I was contradicting you, I just love my EndeavourOS install so much I couldn’t help but chirp up! I would not recommend any arch to a new user, including EndeavourOS.
When my win 10 gaming box EOLs this fall, I’m probably going to jump it straight to arch, since it looks like the most straightforward way to build a Steam OS like system.
Or arch instead of NixOS 😂

I know that there is arch based distros that are more user friendly but I was talking about clean arch and not about arch based distros.

It’s fine. I just said it because I thought there was a misunderstanding.

good luck.
If you want a steam OS just use cachy they literally have a steam deck img that is just steam OS minus the immutable bits for all realistic purposes.
Was going to be skeptical about an obscure distro, but I see they are currently #2 on Distrowatch. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before.
Appreciate the recommendation, I’ll def look into it!
