The thing is you’re describing the acolyte as well. Same approach one turned out great the other not so great

I’ve only seen this on a system I hadn’t changed the wallpaper on. But agreed the stock ones suck

Mostly BC its low effort. The most intimidating thing about arch for me was the troubleshooting when things go wrong. I’m cool with that in general operation but not during the installation process. Endeavor makes it painless while still being a minimalistic install

EndeavorOS if you want to have an easy time. Also be comfortable reading documentation.

Distro hopping gets addictive and honestly if you’re happy with where you are i wouldnt recommend you switch anything.

Buuuuut if you’re going to do it anyways EndeavourOS. Its arch for begginers you can branch out to more complex things if you want but the install is painless and works out the box. Arch is in general VERY customizable but its a double edged sword so having guardrails during the setup is helpful.

This one surprises me. I had always thought Quebec had a strong cultural identity. How do you see it happening?
