Understood, thanks for the response.

Thanks for the detailed response. Yeah I’m reading up on distrobox.

Thanks, I’m investigating Gentoo. It’s rolling release and custom built. Updated frequently is good and stability is good too, IMO.

Thanks for the links. I’ll read up on it.

Awesome, thanks I appreciate the response. This makes sense.

Thanks for your response.

It still takes space on the drive. It takes an icon on the start menu.

And then there’s that little devil in me that I don’t want to send feedback back to servers of what I do with my system.

Maybe I’m paranoid or maybe I just want to squeeze all the pure power (and space) I can. It’s like an old hot rod, there’s no radio; there’s no heated seats; it’s made to go fast and have fun.

Thanks

As I said, to avoid bloat, why run an os over an os? Endeavouros has its update but there’s also an arch update. I don’t need hand holding for the install and that’s one of the benefits of Endeavouros, at least that’s my understanding.

I’m already running endeavouros and thinking of going back to arch to remove the extra overlay.

Yes I understand. I like to tinker and fiddle with dials and buttons so to speak. I want to be able to make my system do whatever I tell it. Change icons, buttons, widgets, as well as being able to remove/ avoid apps that I don’t use.

Thanks for your response. I like to fiddle with things. I’m a bit of a tinkerer and like too customize various parts of my os. Basically more user space stuff. How it looks, buttons, themes, and whatnot. Also able to remove/avoid apps that I don’t use. Simple, but unique.

May I ask, why fedora for core system, but arch for distrobox?

Understood

Interesting, the coders use it at my work for easier rolling out the setup. I didn’t think about using it as a gaming pc.

Yeah, if going arch based, whya not arch itself?

Things change, the reason linux exists is from communities. I wanted to see what this community was running and get a feel from others. Also, I like experimenting and wanted to see if there’s a distro I didn’t take into account.

It looks like arch, debian, and gentoo are the main ones I’m looking at.

Each with pros and cons.

Ok thanks. Good to hear.

That’s what I thought about debian is that it’s very stable, but this causes drivers and possibly other stuff to not be updated as quickly.

Right, built for my system.

Hmmm… thanks for the response, I like how it’s more built for your system since you compile it locally.
