I used to distro hop frequently before Linux was almost supported by many things. I preferred Fedora derivatives but Ubuntu pushed those out in the dev space. I switched to Arch because it was funny then a few years ago switched to EndeavorOS because it was easy. I currently can’t get things like OBS to work smoothly (when my display sleeps, screen captures have to be deleted and rebuilt), sharing my screen with basically any tool is a nightmare, and I’m just kinda tired of compiling fixes and deeply configuring. I’m spoiled by the work experience on a Mac where all of this stuff works and it’s POSIX compliant.

What I’d like out of the box

  • Solid support of OBS or other streaming tools
  • Easy screensharing
  • Decent audio experience
  • Packages not Snaps (if I have to cave on this one I have to cave)

Linux is Linux so the rest of what I do will work almost anywhere. Godot, Rust, and a browser are basically all I need.

    Some distros come with both pre-installed so you don’t really need to swap out anything. If it’s not pre-installed, I don’t know, you might be right and it won’t fix anything.

    I’ve had issues with specific apps that just don’t support it, others that require installing more packages and others that I didn’t care enough to look into. That’s a significant enough number to take it into account when trying things.
