Yeah I had one of those moments when an update totally broke stuff. Like, couldn’t boot at all. Had to boot into the USB and chroot to reinstall some drivers. Was a fun learning experience lol

Idk how popular it is, especially since it’s Arch based, but went with EndeavorOS after not running Linux for a few years – work machine mandated Windows and gaming compatibility was kinda sketch at the time. Heard Gaming compatibility had improved (it has) so wanted to try it out again.

Not afraid of troubleshooting issues I cause, and bleeding edge shenanigans, but a proper Arch install from scratch was still a bit daunting. So it seemed like a good middle ground, and access to the AUR sounded nice.

Been running it with KDE Plasma for a while, been going great! Some issues with Nvidia drivers here and there but hopefully going to upgrade and swap to AMD at some point.
