Neue Erkenntnis für mich:
Arch Linux mag es nicht, wenn man monatelang keine Updates macht und anschließend versucht alles an Updates in einem großen Rutsch zu installieren.
Ich habe genau das nämlich versucht und seitdem zeigt mir mein Laptop nach der Anmeldemaske nur noch ein graues Bild🤷♂️
Schätze ich werde auf meinem Laptop Debian installieren.
Die Distro passt dort vermutlich besser.
Which distro do you use? Most distros have their own dedicated chat rooms, and it could be on Discord, Matrix or IRC, with IRC typically being the one with most users.
Eg for Arch Linux: #archlinux on irc.libera.chat
or for Fedora: #fedora-workstation on irc.libera.chat
Edit: And in the end, it’s back to good old Fedora with Xfce. I guess I’m an old man, fixed in my ways. Haiku was interesting, but not nearly as stable as needed. OpenSuSE with Xfce was rough, it requires more polish....
@vahid@agrammatic For me hardware support on my Dell Latitude has been (almost) plug and play. It probably depends on (the #FOSS ness of) your hardware. But I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like fixing things. Funny story though, the video driver for my #nvidia quadro atm (470) is not supported by #archLinux where #freebsd has a prebuilt package ready to go.
Maybe someone who is familiar with #Distrbox can explain this to me before I make a video on the app.
Why do certain images not have their distro's package manager installed? ubuntu-toolbox for instance has no apt (or apt-get). The regular non-toolbox version of #ArchLinux does not have pacman.
EndeavourOS has the option to install Vanilla Arch Linux without any modifications, using just the GUI installer.
It is Arch Linux and I don't believe in gatekeeping arguing just because you didn't use the terminal, it isn't arch. -- Which I have done, but I value my time.
I also much prefer the EndeavourOS Community. They are friendlier and more helpful.

edit: I like matrix.io more than discord. I will try to stick with matrix.io but yeah, discord has more people in it though :(...
Suggest me a libre OS to try using on my new desktop PC
