I made the unfortunate post about asking why people liked Arch so much (RIP my inbox I’m learning a lot from the comments) But, what is the best distro for each reason?

RIP my inbox again. I appreciate this knowledge a lot. Thank you everyone for responding. You all make this such a great community.

    EndeavourOS Bcause:

    It’s Arch with an easy installer, with all of the most common administration tools already installed

    With the Arch repo, AUR, and flatpak I have a wide breadth of software to choose from

    I can easily install it without a desktop environment to install and set up Hyprland without the clutter of another DE

    Not to mention it’s active and friendly community and excellent documentation

        Sorry, I misread your comment on my first reply. Yes, you can have gnome and hyprland installed side by side, you would just use SDDM to choose what session you’re starting at login.

          But is it also possible to have the gnome login screen (so after startup) and then automatically login using Hyprland? Because I dislike any other login screen. (The gnome one is pretty asf)

        You can combine any desktop environments, really. Just choose which one you want when you’re on a login screen

      this. and incredibly sane defaults. for me, basically the perfect “traditional” distro and it ended my distrohopping.
