  Unless we’re talking SteamOS or similar, then it just sounds like disaster waiting to happen.

  EndeavourOS was my first, but not the same as naked Arch I guess

    Pfft, amateur. My first was some version of red hat that took me almost a week to download, then I had to compile it, and then load onto, like, eight floppies.

      Slack 2 or 3 here I couldn’t get it to install because it didn’t have CD ROM drivers that worked with mine. Little did teenage me know I could have just copied the disk images to floppies but neither the sound or CD would have worked. I actually just installed it on a VM in Proxmox a couple weeks ago though. Now my windows 3.11 can telnet into my slack 2.3 box because why not.

        Slackware was at least 3 years later and a huge leap forward. Even Red Hat 2.5 was a major leap because it was the first Linux distributable that was pre-compiled and feee to download.

  So far arch is my first and only distro. I moved to linux a year ago and decided to just jump in with Arch. I havent had any major issues.

  My college roommate told me to wipe my os and install arch not thinking I would do it but I did, and that was 14 years ago. It’s a fun experience but these days I just wanna throw a fedora ublue distro on stuff and use that.
