So I installed EndeavourOS ...
... and I absolutely love it.
After my previous post where I asked for advice on distros I have tried Mint and EndeavourOS first as VM's and afterwards I gave them their own partition and tried it on my real hardware.
Something about EndeavourOS just sat right though and I promptly replaced my windows install with it. KDE Plasma also blows me away with the amount of customisation that is possible.
I've spent some time configuring today but mostly aesthetic stuff as my hardware worked 95% out of the box. Some odd dependencies were missing for steam to work properly but I'm really not missing anything that windows had right now.
I'm curious how my uni workflow will look like now, but I'm sure I can make it work.
Thanks a lot for the support and advice you've given me. I really love the community on here.
I'll get back to customising my bash prompt now. 😄
Edit: Due to popular demand:
I use Arch, btw.
You mentioned customizing your bash prompt, I recommend checking out OhMyBash. https://github.com/ohmybash/oh-my-bash.
Alternatively, zsh is also good, and a little bit more modern. I still haven't found a solution that uses modern keyboard shortcuts and text entry functions. Even zsh things like shift+arrows and ctrl+arrows are an after market hack.
And the zsh equivalent Oh My Zsh
I'm a big fan of fish personally.
Ikr? Best user experience.
I've heard of it but never checked it out. It will be worth a check at least.
This will send me down another 4h rabbit hole today, thanks 😬
It sounds like you're right at home in the Linux community!
In case you're interested I've tried out a few things and kinda settled on fish, but will still use bash for scripting.
This is pretty neat, what are some of the plugins you like to use with OhMyBash?
