What is your go-to Linux distro and why?
What is your go-to Linux distro and why?
I'd like to settle on a distro, but none of them seem to click for me. I want stability more than anything, but I also value having the latest updates (I know, kind of incompatible).
I have tested Pop!_Os, Arch Linux, Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu. Arch and Pop being the two that I enjoyed the most and seemed the most stable all along... I am somewhat interested in testing NixOS although the learning curve seems a bit steep and it's holding me back a bit.
What are you using as your daily drive? Would you recommend it to another user? Why? Why not?

I would highly recommend EndeavourOS. Its basically Arch linux on easy mode. It takes care of updates without much fuss.
EndeavourOS is definitely my favorite desktop distro I've used. I'm pretty heavy on command line because my brain likes it and I really enjoy the lack of any graphical package manager where you just have to use command line to update/install stuff. Feels very clean and I haven't had any stability issues that I haven't seen in other distros.
It's there no option to update things with a GUI or do you just prefer to use terminal. Currently trying to decide between mint and endeavor. Haven't used Linux since Ubuntu way back in college in like 2011
