Are you using pop!_os or another distro ?

Uh... My journey actually started with Nobara after researching. But I wanted to try hyprland, so switched to Arch.

One of the things I like about Arch is the yay util designed to build packages basically straight from GitHub, and provide an easy way to upgrade them.

I will also go ahead and say that jumping straight to Arch is a bad idea. I would look at Ubuntu or Fedora first. Arch pushes updates really quickly and it can occasionally cause issues.

Thanks for you answer. I'm a novice concerning linux. I wish too leave microsoft but i'm a bit afraid of breaking my computer.

So far i'm hesitating between mint and pop!_os in dual boot

are you looking at the newer version of pop os? It's still in beta, I think you would have a better experience with mint.

[–] bourrelier@jlai.lu 2 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I guess I am aiming at a stable version in order to prevent difficulties

If you're worried about breaking your computer take a look at bazzite too, it's an immutable distro so it won't even let you mess with important system files without really really trying. it also installs the proprietary Nvidia drivers so you don't have to worry about that either

Same answer as that other guy. I tried Pop OS for a few months, and while the automatic tiling is tempting, it's really buggy even with the new version. Linux Mint is the easiest IMHO and looks a bit like Windows 2000. I love it so far.
