EndeavourOS, best one I've used yet.

Endeavour has basically all the pros of Arch without the challenges. Most times I just want to do some gaming with minimal fuss so for me it's perfect. I can still tinker when I want to.

I think they've standardized on KDE Plasma and Wayland (though I still recommend X11 for stability) as the default but last I knew they offered current builds for almost every DE, which again just saves hassle if you prefer another.

I used Manjaro previously but it seemed too disconnected from Arch / the AUR, so it felt like a crapshoot on whether certain package versions would work or whether the Arch wiki was relevant.

I love that this comic is already a meme.

BTW which distro is best for running Adobe??? I really need Photoshop on my laptop.
EDIT: /s, and also I guess the joke doesn't actually work here lol

VMWare workstation is now free for Linux!!!!

Oh? That's pretty cool.

Just run windows 10 LTSB!

Ew, no. I will never do that. I was completely joking about Adobe and expecting links to the GIMP repo lol.

I already run Endeavour and don't actually need any proprietary Adobe software, but thanks :)

Haha. Well I appreciate that you and others are so willing to help! The old "get lost and RTFM" stereotype is really feeling antiquated here.

Oh I won't dispute that. I have a close friend in the graphics and video field where Adobe CC is indispensable.

But that's not what I do. For anything I need to edit, GIMP and Pixlr are more than sufficient.

My joke was that in the old days of tech forums, I feel like there was almost a kneejerk reaction among the GNU/Linux diehards to ditch closed source at any cost, and if you didn't you weren't worth their time or compassion (like the sharks in the comic here).

Also, I'm not sure the comparison is entirely fair because I kinda doubt the budget and manpower behind GIMP are even in the same galaxy as Photoshop.

Pixlr-E is in that same category.

But I've only ever been able to do from the 12nd onward...

No kidding! Glad someone gets it. A couple I know who Instagrammed their entire cross-Europe vacation last year couldn't understand why I don't want to travel at the same time as them this year even though we're going some of the same places 🤦‍♂️

Not yet, but it's not a chance I'd be willing to take. They have at least one neighbor who's supposedly been arrested for theft. He used to watch their dogs for them but when they found out they changed the locks.
