OP is talking about dreading major kernel updates because shit might break. I’m not talking about tinkering (though I’d argue against that point too, btrfs and timeshift exist).

Arch updates so often I barely even notice a kernel update; I’m certainly not dreading it.

Also side point, super huge updates on arch are normally an indication that you didn’t perform a full system update in a while. If things are going to break it’s when you dont perform regular system maintenance.

No personal experience with Fedora but if that’d been your experience why not shift to Arch (btw) or something similar. Been daily driving for 3~4 years, super stable and always on latest releases.

Nah this is gonna be sick.

This post is a little cringe. Endeavor OS is a great Arch Experience for those who want a little preconfiguration and a GUI install. I’ve since moved onto doing it the arch way, but EOS was a great foot in the door and I know for a fact I’m not alone. Ive learned more about Linux in 2 years going from EOS to Arch (and running a proxmox server) than I would have running some “beginner friendly” distro. Really wish folks would stop gatekeeping.
